SYMPTOMS
On certain laptop computers running Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2
(OSR2), when a PC Card is inserted into a slot in the docking station,
the card may not be recognized.
CAUSE
This symptom has been observed with certain docking stations that use the
TI 1130 PCI-to-CardBus bridge, and occurs only when the PC Card is
inserted in a CardBus slot connected through this bridge (that is, in the
docking station).
RESOLUTION
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit

MORE INFORMATION
If you are experiencing this behavior, contact your computer manufacturer
for a possible remedy.
If the TI 1130 PCI-to-CardBus bridge is configured as a "positive decode"
bridge, CardBus cards will be recognized but non-CardBus PC Cards (type R2
PCMCIA cards) may not be recognized.
If the TI 1130 PCI-to-CardBus bridge is configured as a "subtractive
decode" bridge, non-CardBus PC Cards (type R2 PCMCIA cards) will be
recognized but CardBus cards will not be.
