Compaq PCMCIA Support for MS DOS/Windows
Version 3.14 Rev E The files included on this diskette enable the PCMCIA functionality for the LTE 5000 family within a Microsoft DOS/Windows 3.1x environment. SUPERSEDES: SP1473

Notes: Not available from the compaq ftp-server anymore for unknown reasons.

I installed the softpaq and I am very content with that tricky PC-Card Wizard. It detected my Anycom V34+ Modem Card correctly and configured it, although I never had installed a driver for it. Interesting also the option to start a special software when a special card is inserted. For details of the softpaq see picture above.

Other Softpaqs:
Although perhaps newer, older or originally not intended for the Aero, you might want to try these softpaqs because of localizations, extra features or other purposes.
