Why do certain PC cards cause my battery life to drop noticeably?
Certain hard disk cards and wireless radio cards consume more power than others and can impact battery life. When not using any PC card, close all applications using the card and pop it part of the way out of the slot to save power.
In Setup, I disabled or reconfigured peripheral devices (like the ports or sound), yet I am unable to use the freed IRQs or I/O address resources with my PC Cards?
To provide a stable platform free of conflicts, NECC excluded some resources from PC card use.
Diskette Drive
Why can't I boot from the diskette drive?
To boot from the diskette drive, be sure that you have a diskette in the drive containing operating system files. Be sure to check the Boot Device Setup parameters in the BIOS Setup utility to determine the designated sequence of boot devices. See Chapter 3, “Using the BIOS Setup Utility.”
See your operating system documentation for information about creating system diskettes.
