My new Dell Inspiron 4000 has a TI PCI1420 PC Controller.

I cannot find a driver for it.

Any help out there?

Thanks

Hi Frank,

you may go to the OS/2 notebook side

http://www.os2ss.com/users/DrMartinus/Notebook.htm

and look for Dell. There is no entry for the Inspiron 4000, but you can
choose the Inspiron 7000, it has the same chip built in.
From the driverpage get the IBM cardbus driver (PC-card 5.0 Standard)

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/os2ddpak/playwill.exe

or the IBM cardbus driver for Dell Latitude models

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/os2ddpak/dell.exe

for basic cardbus support.
For the necessary TI 1220 chipset *.sys driver choose the Intel 82365
and download

Hope this helps

Try this:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/os2ddpak/playwill.exe

No guarantees tho.

In reply to my own message.
I just noticed the driver Frank tries to find is for the TI 1420 chipset
and not the 1220
chipset. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Frank

after two cancelled messages this is the place to go to:

ftp://ftp.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/os2ddpak/cardbus.exe

The readme.txt file says, that the TI1420 chipset is supported.

Sorry again for the inconvenience

I will check the link you provided.
If it has a driver I can use I cannot thank you enough.

I'll begin to monitor the group so I can help others if I can.

Don't know how much this will help, but I have a new Sony Viao gf630,
with the same pc card controller--TI1420. The new socket driver from the
new Thinkbook cardbus package works fine. But it seems available for a
price only from Software Choice for OS/2

Thanks to those who responed. The chipset is covered under the
new cardbus.exe.

Now I just have to find video and sound drivers.
