IIRC, I bought the computer five years ago and installed OS/2 Warp 4 from
the installation CD. I then installed various fixpacks from time to time.
I don't remember if OS/2 installed the soundblaster drivers or if I used
one of the IBM utilities. I doubt that because those seem to be Crystal
drivers. But my memory has deteriorated in the last five years.

I do remember you helped me with my PCMCIA Lan card -- a Linksys model at
that time. Wish I could remember better.

At this point the sound and the modem are both working well. The Wireless
PCMCIA card, however, is still working only intermittently. I don't
understand why that should be. It seems like it just isn't picking up an
IRQ during the boot sequence. Is there some way to check that or force it
or something?

Thanks,
Sandy
