Newly registered here and ready to discuss PCs with a like-minded crowd!
I just got a ThinkPad 560 and it has no CD or floppy drives, which means PCMCIA CF is my only option for file transfer. It should work with the generic driver, but mine doesn’t. It recognizes the drive properly but it won’t mount the 1GB or so FAT partition on the CF Card. I found a post with the same problem elsewhere which was solved by running the PC Card setup from the control panel. I had already done this, and it didn’t fix the issue. Only difference is that for them, “PC Card services” moved from being an unknown device in device manager to a known one. Mine didn’t do this, but updating the driver didn’t solve it.
The same thing happens on my 385XD ThinkPad running Windows 98.
Thanks everyone!
