This isn't necessary anymore, as the PAO patch is using the code in 2.2.

I do that from time to time with my Gateway2000 handbook. It works OK. The card is called "Infomover" just like the rest of the cards from National.

Why don't you get a car power cord for your cell phone, then instead of plugging it into a cigarette lighter outlet, hook it up to a 12V power supply? You can get a compatible (cigarette lighter type) socket at Radio Shack with wires on it to hook up to the power supply. Gary
