proper drive letter. Check the documentation for
your card and/or device for further information.
• Some PC cards may require additional system
resources. You might have to disable the serial
port or another device to free resources for the
card (see your WinBook notebook Help file for
information about hardware resources). Check
the card documentation for more information.
• You can check on the status of the installed PC
Card by clicking on the icon on the taskbar. You
can check or alter the properties of the PC card
usage by your system by selecting the PCMCIA
icon in the Control Panel. (Figure 5.6) This will
call up the PC Card Properties dialog box.

PCMCIA Network Connections
If your WinBook X Series computer did not come
with a mini-PCI LAN connection, you can purchase a PCMCIA Network
Interface Card.
If you purchase a network PCMCIA card, you will first need to have
your WinBook notebook recognize the card and load the necessary drivers
(see above). Once your network card has been recognized and Windows
has installed the necessary networking files, you will be asked to restart
your system to allow the new networking environment to function. If you
are an experienced network user, you can double-click on the Network icon
in the Control Panel in Windows Me to adjust your settings. If you are not
an experienced network user, you can use the Home Networking Wizard
to establish your connections. Open the My Network Places window
on the desktop and double-click on the Home Networking Wizard icon.
