Re: [TCLUG:21963] PCI / PCMCIA linkage - the update

I can't tell you definitively, but I have a couple of Satellite 100CS, and
I think they also want PCI support, i.e., I support your conclusion that
you have a PCI buss.  Again, I haven't popped the lid far enough to
identify controllers and whatnot.
