There are a couple of things that don't work the way I want them:
1. I can't get the builtin sound card to set the volume as high as
the Microsoft software does. I suspect it's misrecognizing the
chip and using a compatibility mode, but I can't get Dell to tell
me what's in there, let alone how to program it.
2. I can't run two PCMCIA cards on the machine without trickery:
there don't seem to be enough spare IRQs. The only way I've been
able to do it is by disabling the PCIC and using its IRQ for one
of the cards. This means that if I then pull the card, the
machine locks up. "Well don't do that then".
