bout time you got something else done

meissen

well the major problem I'm having is the two PCMCIA cards are conflicting with eachother. I can use just the wireless pcmcia ehternet card, or I can use just the PCMCIA cardbus 4 port usb 2.0 hub... but if I try to use both at the same time, crash. still haven't figured it out yet.

archemedes

that is strange, resource conflict?

remember, patience is a virtue.

thought it was an IRQ conflict, but according to the system settings they're all seperate... which is actually surprising considering windows 98 is notorious for IRQ conflicts. Tried downloading all the win98 patches, upgraded to win98se (its a 400mhz comp, otherwise I'd put XP on it..), downloaded new drivers for all, no clue. It's been 2 months that I've been stumped. I posted on like 10 computer help forums but they are NO help at all, and I managed to get myself banned from one of them.

try *cringe* windows me? I had a problem with 98 and changed a couple irq settings (even though there were no conflicts) and things worked

Yeh reading that made me cringe too. Technically I *can* put XP on this slow beast, but the touch screen drivers don't work, and 3M stopped making drivers for it apparently.

Just an update... it's up and running... sorta. I get a disk error, I think I need to load the motherboard's drivers into the hard drive.

so you're back into the project again? Cool. I can't wait to see it all worked out and in the car.

Si Si, I had to stop so I could concentrate on getting my rims. All the hardware I need except for the wireless ethernet adapter is there, so most of it now is just software configuring and setting it all up.

I can't wait to see it!

yeah I'll tell ya normally I start projects and then never get anywhere with it, so the fact that i'm this close to having it finished is a great feeling, and **** im so anxious to get it into the car.
