- That was another though that I had. As I have access to a "ROM" burner, I was

- That seemed like a hack and a half though. It's just that they do make a number of neat
- little devices for the PCMCIA, and I wanted to be sure that I wouldn't be "cutting myself off at the
- knees" if I upgrade to 3.1. I'm interested in the Network cards, and video/audio digitizers - and of
- course, I need to avoid any conflict with my accelerator board having more than 4 MB installed on
- it...
