Wanted Non-Cardbus PCMCIA Cards

I have an old Toshiba 430 laptop and would like to network it. That means either an ethernet card or possibly a USB card. But the unit is so old that it only supports 16-bit PCMCIA cards, NOT 32-bit cardbus cards.

Can anyone suggest a source which still sells non-cardbus PCMCIA ethernet cards?

I have an IBM "Home and Away" 14.4 modem/Ethernet combo card. I have been unable to make it work with Win95/98. IBM long ago washed its hands of trying to get it to work with those op sys. They supplied a routine to "modify" the card, but it doesn't help me. Has anyone on here succeeded?

I'm in the USA.

Thanks,
