AT-2800TX problem

[ejolson@fluxion.math.uci.edu]

Hello everyone, 

I've updated elm--the date of this email should be fine.  Thanks for all
of those who noticed that problem.  Unfortunately, my AT2800TX problems
are still around, and for me much harder to fix.  I'm sending this same
question again because it may have been lost due to the strange date on
my previous email.

Is there someone reading this news list who is using such hardware in
their notebook computer?  I would be interested in hearing from you
about what driver you are using and the options make it work.  If this
card, in fact, doesn't work, then it should probably be removed from
the list of supported cards in the pcmcia package.  I contacted David
Hinds earlier and he didn't know of anyone actually using this card.

All the best and Happy Y2K, Eric
