SUMMARY
=======

The Windows NT PC Card (PCMCIA) services will only work on the Toshiba Tecra 700
series in the PCIC Compatible mode. If you are using the Card Bus/16-bit mode
and you manually start the PC Card (PCMCIA) service, you will receive the
following error message:

  Could not start the Pcmcia service on \\<computername>.
  Error 0020: The system cannot find the device specified.
