Picked up this laptop (755c) for about $20. Took it apart, cleaned, reseated ICs, put back together. Everything works great -- 540mb hdd, 20MB ram, Win95.

Question.. i had a PCMCIA Megahertz Ethernet adapter I was planning to use w/this laptop. But.. this laptop, despite having 2 PCMCIA (?) slots ... my card is bigger (physically) than the 2 slots on the side of the laptop. It's a PCMCIA 2.0/2.1 card, why would it not work?

Did IBM use some proprietary card interface? I need to find a NIC that will work with my notebook (it has no CDROM and I need to load software from my server)

TIA - Para
