Good news; got a Linksys PCM100, it works on Windows 95 AND has official OS/2 drivers.

If you ever lived near Halifax it might have been!

the hard part in this day & age is getting blank floppy disks to rebuild stuff …

Although Win95 + Duke3d sounds like my old IBM …. lol

To add, mine is a DX4 model; it should have came with OS/2 but it had Windows 3.1 sloppily upgraded to Windows 95, and it was stripped down after that, with software like Duke3D, Access, and ACT! missing when they were installed by the owner. (protip: never aggressively uninstall)

It has parallel, but a proprietary version that’s odd and hooks up floppies too. It’s a subnotebook. Thankfully, I have a dock that gives REAL parallel and serial.

Yup, looking for 16-bit cards can be a hassle.

I used to have one of those! … I used a cisco pcmcia wifi card, and it’d automatically join open wifi networks…. fun machine with the fold out keyboard…

I’m sure its a PCMCIA only machine not cardbus, so be careful looking for cards.. in the meantime it should have serial/parallel so there is always PPP/SLIP!

Windows sees it, but there’s 10Base-T, it’s got something like a tiny little AUI. Cables seem expensive, any suggestions?
