Thanks again to all of you who took the time to respond. I did find an image on Fabbnet.com that is supposed to have built in pcmcia tools. It requires to use Eigerstein2Beta and I am having some problem opening the later. In the meantime I will try to make this work on a regular pc. I will keep you posted on my progress and if i will also like to share some of my setback and success with the rest of you so that someone else might benefit... Thanks. -M
