1130 PCI-to-CardBus bridge, and occurs only when the PC Card is inserted in a
CardBus slot connected through this bridge (that is, in the docking station).

RESOLUTION
==========


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

MORE INFORMATION

If you are experiencing this behavior, contact your computer manufacturer for a
possible remedy.

If the TI 1130 PCI-to-CardBus bridge is configured as a "positive decode" bridge,
CardBus cards will be recognized but non-CardBus PC Cards (type R2 PCMCIA cards)
may not be recognized.

If the TI 1130 PCI-to-CardBus bridge is configured as a "subtractive decode"
bridge, non-CardBus PC Cards (type R2 PCMCIA cards) will be recognized but
CardBus cards will not be.
