could not fix, and without the ability to use a PCMCIA modem and
data-card, NEC's customer for the VersaPad would be forced to abandon
the Penpoint application and retool for a Windows for Pen Computing
application. The result of this, and some really major issues with early
Ni-MHD battery cells was enough to kill the complete VersaPad project.
Why not just label the virtual PCMCIA card (the "book" icon) with the slot
number?
