You didn't state if the card came in the laptop from IBM. If so then you should be able to get support from IBM as TI considers it obsolete and offers no support.

If you wish to look around on TIs website, here's their link:

Jerry,

thanks for the reply. I am not 100% sure of anything about the ThinkPad and the owner isn't either. I am doing this as a favor to a friend of my daughters. The machine is very slow and I am thinking a re-install is in order. Maybe Win 2000 would work better. From the research I have done it looks as if it originally shipped with either '95 or '98.

Thanks for your help,

Tom

Before you do a reinstall, backup your current drivers. I don't know how many members have done that in the past and their drivers are history.
