Frank, I have exactly the same problem. A card I received from Farallon displays the same symptoms. It will not stay seated in the PCMCIA slot on my PB1400c. The strange part is that another card (exactly the same configuration and specs), works fine. Examining both cards I cannot find any obvious defect or difference. I've asked Farallon for a replacement, but since both the okay card and the n/g one look (and apparently are) the same, I'm stumped. In any event, that would appear (at least in my case) to rule out any problem with the PCMCIA slot - and does indeed point to some anomaly in the card. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
