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".
