The driver is d720mini.mpd as quoted from the SYSTEM PROPERTIES of MY COMPUTER.
All drivers reported by the system are 32bit. These are other
information under the SCSI Controllers section.

Yes, I've enabled the Win95 PCMCIA support and it can be hot swapped. It
successfully recognises both the drives after re-inserting the PC-CARD.
