[] Install a P2 Driver into all the
Slots!

different between different PCMCIA slots on

[] Quick tip to manage P2 cards,
"Full" or "Empty"?
- On the rubber P2 cap, mark FULL on one side and EMPTY
on the other, using tape for example.
- When the P2 card is full, use the cap with the FULL
side towards the P2 logo side of the card, and the EMPTY side towards the logo
when empty.
- This is one way to be able to quickly check the status
of a card.
* We recommend that you set your card to write
protect when it is full.
