Hi. I recently bought a used Thinkpad 560x. This problem is
manifesting itself in both Windows 98se and Windows 2000. Whenever I
insert a cardbus card, the computer completely stops responding. If I
remove the card the computer goes back to whatever it was doing and
works normaly. I've tested this with two cards, a Xircom Realport
Cardbus 10/100+56k modem and a 3com 10/100 card. The lockups do not
occur with non-cardbus cards. Any ideas?
