I have never heard of a 'male' PCMCIA card, nor for that matter a female pc card slot.
Do both slots do the same thing? Perhaps the spring in the one you are inserting into is stuffed?? Also, with the card out, press the eject button - the spring might still be in the 'engaged' mode. Note, pressing the button will only have an effect when the computer is either on or off - not when it's sleeping. You can also try using a paperclip in the small hole beside the card slot to try to disengage the spring, if that is indeed the problem. -- John On 17/3/03 3:15 PM, "Frank Modica" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I picked up a Farallon ethermac PC card on ebay to create an ethernet > network for a pb 1400 through the PCMCIA slot.
