I am still trying to get pcmcia to work in DOS. I found a discontinued product "CardSoft for DOS release 5.30.11" by SystemSoft that looks like it would work, but they offer no support no refunds no nothing for $69.95. I opended up the CF-01 and the pcmcia controller is the Ricoh 396. Does anybody have any experience with this software? Here is the url for the site http://www.systemsoft.com/l-2/l-3/products-other.htm

I have a set of drivers that work fine. They are Phoenix PCM+ veriosn 3. These come with lots of this generation laptops, you can probably check a few sites and find them to download. They are also distributed with IBM DOS 5.0 if I remember correctly. Check some of the thinkpad driver sites for around the 750-755 series and see if they have them. The full set includes 3 or 4 socket services drivers with names like pcmssit.exe and pcmssdb.exe. Those are the only hardware specific parts and if the ricoh socket services can't be found I could probalby upload them somewhere.

You would have to have DOS drivers for the pcmcia card that work with installed card and socket services. PCMCIA devices used to come with both a C&SS driver and sometimes a point enabler. All that the standard card and socket services, which is what the phoenix pcm+ is, support natively are hard drives, memory cards and some standard modems or network cards.
