+NOTE: Before buying a non-Compaq PC Card, check the documentation that comes with it to be sure it conforms to standards set by the PCMCIA.

The Microsoft Windows 98 Getting Started guide and the documentation that came with your network card will have more information about setting up to use a network or compatible network card.
