Re: Restoring DOS/Win3.1 Card Services for TP701cs?

[epbrown@enteract.com (epbrown)]

	Here's what it says in the file for the mobiles directory, if you still
haven't found this:
	PCTPX130.EXE  523195  07-24-95  PCMCIA dsk v1.3-ThinkPads except 760/365

	According to the .doc file, this disk should cover PC functions for the
701 in DOS/Win.  
	HTH,
