These cards were called pcmcia cards for years by quite a lot of people until they were later renamed PC Cards. I really couldn't care less why it happened. But I was aware of the rename. I also stopped paying attention to a lot of other computer particulars somewhere around the same time. When I have a need to know, I'll look it up. Secondly, I think it would serve a lot of us here if everyone were aware of Aperger's Syndrome. I have it, and probably a very significant percentage of people who read this mail list have it as well. People who have it could have a several opinions about it. You could for example, believe that you're right and that nothing is wrong with you, and that you're completely normal, in spite of lacking an adequate frame of reference with which to compare your experience. Or, you could accept that you have it, but conclude that you're manner of thinking, behaving and being is better than that of everyone else and refuse to modify your behavior in an attempt to better cohabitate with your neighbors. Or, you could accept that you have it and decide to work toward learning some people skills in an attempt to at least partially improve the opinions of the people you meet. I think i should have reworded my question to include the caveat that the PC Card would need to function correctly within the context of a scsi bus. I'm not sure how far I would get with a PC Card network device plugged into a scsi bus. brian
