Ok, the CF card is inserted in slot 1.

'pccardctl info' returns:

PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255

'pccardctl ident' returns:

Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  no product info available

Looks like no information at all ?
