Tom,
I'll apologize first for not being able to find a link to the thread in NTLK.
IIRC it was likely David or someone else mentioned where they work
they have the equipment and software to bit copy PCMCIA memory card.
The hardware & software IIRC also was a bit pricey $500 or $650 plus
from the link he gave.

Nope not from what I recall. I maybe wrong.

You need a software & hardware. A PCMCIA reader/writer - the one
mentioned was a Internal Card IIRC.
Yes
It was a Windows program mentioned ..... I searched high and low and
still couldn't fine the thread..
Hopefully someone ;) will chime in on this or a thread will be linked
for you to read...
