As Tino suggested, get ps2.exe if you need to tinker with IRQ's. I have a 
760XL, and I know PCMCIA works fine with a 2.4.xx kernel, same for the close 
cousin 760XD. What version of BIOS (or should I say "System Program Service 
Diskette") do you have? There were fixes specific to Win98. Both of the 
machines I mentioned have the latest available. Something to consider at least.
