[RESOLVED] Compaq LTE Socket Services

[SK1d]

Hi,
A 'friend' of mine, (some friend), has asked me to rebuild his LTE 5300 laptop. It has a CD, but it is a PCMCIA CD rom. I can't seem to find the socket services to enable the PC card slots. Could anyone point me in the right direction please.

Many thanks.

Hi DonJ,
Hehehe, been there a MILLION times today, keep thinking I'm missing somethin.
It's just the DOS drivers I need, can't find'em anywhere. Their support suks big time.

Hey DonJ,
I finally found them last night, on some obscure forum site, deep in the anals, (annals??), of the Compaq site.
Thanks and good luck.

Oops. Yeah, sorry, wasn't thinking.

Basically, you will need to DOS format/s a 1.44 FDD, and copy the contents of this zip file to it. Then copy it to the HDD. A bit of editing AUTOEXEC.BAT/CONFIG.SYS is required. Personally, all I had to do after that was load my PCMCIA CD drivers.

Good luck all. Mail me if anyone has probs.
