Hi, I have a really old laptop -- Packard Bell EasyNote L2600 - that (according to AIDA32) supports PCMCIA and IEEE 1394. These connections are, however, disabled on the actual laptop and there seems to be a hidden BIOS option to enable them. If anyone wants to help and figure out if this is doable on this old laptop and board that have almost no info online, feel free to reply. 
I cannot find a matching BIOS for this machine, so I have attached a backup of mine.
