Hi, 

does the BIOS of Thinkpad 560E (no internal floppy disk 
present) allow 
booting from PCMCIA? (Someone who owns such a machine, 
please look in your BIOS, if you would be so kind)

Which forms of devices does BIOS support? Only hard devices
or network, too?

Is it possible to realize it in Linux? 

Which PCMCIA-Cards does Thinkpad 560E support? 

Perhaps I'll buuy such a machine. But the machine
I'm observing unfortunately doesn't have 
an external floppy disc  :((


thx
Ekkard
