Heh, now you tell me *grin*. You see, when I purchased it I was told by
the sales person at Dell that it would work fine with NT. I got it and
when I went to load NT on it I found there were no video drivers for it
anywhere to be found. Upon calling Dell tech support I was informed that
they did not support my laptop with NT. :( (Luckily I've been working
with NT for a while so I was able to dredge up what I needed with out
their help.)

Ah, sorry ;) Here they are:
Tuple #7, code 0x1b (Configuration entry), length = 15
000: 03 01 71 55 26 26 54
Config index = 0x1(default)
Interface byte = 0x1 (I/O)
Vcc pwd:
Nominal operating supply voltage: 5 x 1V
Max current average over 1 second: 3 x 10mA
Max current average over 10 ms: 5 x 10mA
Power down supply current: 5 x 1mA
Wait scale Speed = 7.0 x 100 ns
RDY/BSY scale Speed = 7.0 x 100 ns
Card decodes 18 address lines, full 8/16 Bit I/O
IRQ modes: Level, Pulse
IRQs: IOCK 1 4 5 6 8 10 11 12 14
Tuple #8, code 0x1b (Configuration entry), length = 7
000: 03 01 71 55 26 26 54
Config index = 0x3
Vcc pwd:
Nominal operating supply voltage: 5 x 1V

It's a Dell Inspiron 3000 model TS30H
A 200mzh Pentium with 80 megs of RAM and a 3gig HD. NeoMagic video
chipset.
According to Windows NT (so I take this with a grain of salt since it
also currently thinks I have a different version of the NeoMagic chipset
than I do ;) the PCCard chipset is "Intel Compatible" using 3E0-3E1. Lot
of help that is. Dell's web site is less informative.

Ah, see that is one of the places where I was confused. I was under the
assumtion that the 0xXX was for the 300h the system spoke to the card
with.

I'm running 2.2.5 with out any of the security patches sent out (I was
trying to get things running first.)
