SYMPTOMS
========

When a PC Card device is removed from and then reinserted into a CardBus socket,
the device may not be enumerated upon reinsertion. The PC Card icon on the
taskbar shows a status of Empty.

CAUSE
=====

The signal on certain CardBus status lines may be unstable for a time when a
device is removed and reinserted. The Windows 95 drivers may read an incorrect
status during this period of signal instability, and not detect the correct
status of the device.

RESOLUTION
==========

The reinserted device can be enumerated by clicking Refresh in Device Manager.


STATUS
======

This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install
the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of
