when you go to the bios do you have a setting to change the cardtype
from tcic to yenta? You can try this. Another open might be to enable
ISA_CONFIG in the kernel config and try that.

This is just a guess fromlooking at this, someone may have a better idea.

Nothing in the BIOS looked promising. There were some mode change
options for PCI/ISA but nothing that looked like card type or had any
of the terminology you used.

What is "enable ISA_CONFIG in the kernel config"? This is new to me.

It is not direct answer to your specific question, I just thought that
you might be interested: there is mailing list ``linux-pcmcia''

http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/l...o/linux-pcmcia

The people from this list are both knowledgeable and friendly, they have
the list archive too.

Hmmm, did you install Hotplug?

Definetly check your BIOS settings. If you have an old copy of Windows 95 or
98 about, so you can have that probe hardware?

Also, check hp.com, see if you can get the specs from their support DB.
HP bought Compaq, and supports their products.

I'm not entirely sure what that is. It's been a while since I did the
Slackware install, but I can do it again easily enough if you have any
recommendations for it.

I still have the Compaq Restore CD with the factory install of Win95.
This was on the machine when I got it and there were no problems with
the PCMCIA controller or the network card in it.

Unfortunately, all I found on the website was:
Two (2) Type II PCMCIA or One (1) Type III

I'll email their support staff to ask for more detailed specifications
the next time I happen by the laptop and can write down the SN. Do
you have any suggestions as to what I can specifically ask them, other
than "tell me everything you know about the PCMCIA hardware in this
machine"?
