Problem with T1900-203 and MAXXTRO 4 ports USB 2.0

[Tonylab]

I have a notebook T1900-203 and I bought a sk Maxxtro 4 usb 2.0. I can not
boot Ubuntu from pendrive connected to the PCMCIA. If I connect the pendrive to the USB 1.1 everything works fine and devices mounted on PCMCIA are regularly "seen."
The models are:

You can help me to resolve this problem?
See you!

when you use the pcmcia version of the bot manager and it doesn't work, then there is currently no workaround to boot from pcmcia with the boot manager

Hi Tonylab,

excuse my bad English first. I will try my best. I had the same problem on a Dell C800. The PCMCIA worked well with Plop. Plop found the PCMCIA/USB Adapter. Anyway booting was not possible.

Solution: I took the other PCMCIA slot. And it worked fine.

I explored pressing "Control" during runtime: At the start of my experiments the PCMCIA-Slot Plop found at first was empty. The slot Plop found at second contained the USB-adapter. Plop shows all okay but did not boot. It seems like Plop is not able to start from the PCMCIA-slot found at second on my Dell. Taking the other slot, found at first by Plop, solved all problems.

Your Toshiba owns two PCMCIA-slots like my Dell does. Maybe a succesful tip.
