The slot can supply 3.3 volts or 5 volts depending on the needs of card inserted.<BR /><BR />Have you got the latest software for your card? Does Device Manager say that the card is working properly?<BR /><BR />You could try going to Device Manager, select your PCMCIA device and uncheck the box that says "Allow Windows to turn off this device to save power" - might help!<BR /><BR /><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ie/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 16 Apr 2006 15:58:32 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/problem-with-pcmcia-hardware/m-p/58218#M95550 Blencogo 2006-04-16T15:58:32Z
