Hi Scott, as a witness to the installation attempt I have to say:

Yes they did. It recognized a pcmcia controller but had trouble with
the interrupts. The same problems I had on my PC-PJ1 where I had to
patch the pcmcia-cs.

They haven`t tried that. Maybe you can do that with the Let`s note.

Did you have the new version of the Let`s note that came out last
month. I think they are a little different fom the old ones.
Maybe there is some information on the pcmcia controllers at the
panasonic web site. (probably not :( )

They might try creating a second dos partition and putting the TL disk 
on that one. This work for me. Or they have to find out about the
pcmcia controller and maybe patch the pcmcia-cs, or even write a new driver.
