I=B9m running into problems installing NetBSD on a MobilePro 800; the symptom=
s
also exhibit themselves on a MobilePro 770. I=B9m using a Toshiba TypeII
PCMCIA 2.0Gb drive. It works on an IBM Workpad z50, but not on the MP800 or
770. I think the card is trying to draw more power (1.3W @ 3.3V or 2W @ 5V)
than the MP800/770 can supply.
CE recognizes the flash card is inserted but cannot read it or format it
(there was a problem writing to sector N, for every sector). Like I said th=
e
card works fine on a Workpad z50.
Has anyone come across issues like this or documentation of available powe=
r
for PCMCIA so I can at least be sure that=B9s the problem?
