I certainly wont be buying any more combo cards. I remember reading the specs of my Newton2000 (yes I had one, great piece of gear!) and they talked about the fact that combo cards were never going to be supported in there because in order to have a PCMCIA slot have 2 functions you really had to overtake the plumbing as this simply wasn't supported in the spec. This could have changed since then I dont know, but I am also interested in things like running Linux, and Linux will never support my GVCombo, and now I can't even run OS9 on the thing without buying new hardware. If you buy the single use generic cards you can use them for other things as well. Like my Netopia ISDN router has PCMCIA slots for a modem. If you put a modem in there then the Netopia support folks can dial right into your router and set it up or run diagnostics for you. A combo card will never be supported in applications like this. OS9 has been great on my desktop machine. A few unfortunate problems with some software, but the gains are worth it for me. But I'm still getting sunk on this combo card and on my Stylewriter 4100 printer which is also not supported under OS9:( (Apple is going to re-write the drivers, but the sucked anyway. Worst printer Apple ever put their names on! but no time soon, so I'm going to have to buy a new one. Just rambling on a Beautiful Sunday morning:) I also can't find the support email that someone posted for the GV modems. I would like to add my voice to the dissatisfied to help speed up their fixes. I would be greatfull if someone could post it again. -James Sentman ___________________________________________________________ James Sentman http://www.sentman.com/ "Gestorben ist nicht, was f�r ewig ruht, und mit unbekannten Aonen mag sogar der tod noch sterben." ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
