Otherwise you run the risk of damaging the CAM. It's the same on a laptop. You should never just remove an inserted PCMCIA card. You should always first use the "stop" function (usually a function in the system tray) to disengage it from the op.sys. before removing it. I guess the danger is that if there is traffic going to/from the card/CAM at the moment you remove it, you can screw it up. There are a lot of connectors and it's complicated in there....Check your user manual, and you'll find it explicitly stated (at least, it is in the ones I have).2old</blockquote>
