[Coco] Off Topic - PCMCIA Wireless Card

[Bob Devries]

Hi Steve,

I have successfully used a BELKIN PCMCIA wireless card in a Toshiba 
Satellite Pro 4600 series laptop. That's a Pentium 3 running at ~600MHz.

>From memory, it's a F5D7010, but please don't quote me. The unit is 
currently in storage until I get my own place to live *after* my wife 
arrives from the Philippines.
