There is news, and it's happened - I GOT IT WORKING!

Thank you to all who gave me advice - it ended up being the afore mentioned
file I found as a result of Sneeze's tipoff (thanks) that solved it.

Basically, you get the lucent2k.reg file, import it into registry, reboot
and voila, it works - no more freezing. I've attached the reg file (dunno if
it will attach through the list), but if anyone's interested, this is what
it contains:

--------------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pcmcia\Parameters]
"DisableIsaToPciRouting"=dword:00000000
--------------------------

God knows what disabling ISA to PCI routing precisely does, but it fixed my
problem!

For those of you who haven't read the whole painful thread - this reg file
fixes a problem with Orinoco cards and PCI cradles (in my case, Ricoh ones)
that completely lock up Win2K machines.

I will try to put this info on the Wiki board somewhere if I can find an
appropriate spot. Maybe the FAQ has a suitable section (or maybe we need a
technical FAQ).

Either way, thanks again to all who offered me advice, I'm off to play with
my newly liberated-from-wires machine.

Cheers,

	Fenn.
