Re: [Thinkpad] Anyone using an IEEE-1394/Firewire PCMCIA card withT41?

And obviously that's what's making my PCMCIA card not work? A million to
one shot that there's one single solitary driver stuck on my hard drive,
even though this problem happened on an entirely DIFFERENT hard drive and
after an IBM FDISK, then a FAT32 format, and then a conversion to NTFS? (It
was rhetorical - don't bother to answer it).

No one disputes that the files are still there. I'm simply stating that
I've put the OS on two different HD and didnt a CLEAN restore yesterday and
"hidden" or "stuck" files are not going to cause this problem.

Besides which no one has said that they've gotten this successfully to work,
have then? :)
