Compact Flash Card in PCMCIA Adapter

[David H. Lynch Jr.]

  This is pretty uch exactly what I was getting with Pico E12's - same 
CF card in a PCMCIA adapter..
But definitely NOT ide.

The E12 is an FPGA based card. Later E12 firmware with different CF 
timing fixed the problem.
But the earlier firmware that failed under Linux worked in Windows.
I would ssuspect that exactly the same thing is true here.

There is some kind of timing issue and cards that are at one extreme or 
another of the
PCMCIA/CF specs fail to have their CIS information correctly read by linux.

I tried to trace this through the cis, css, and ds systems, but I do nto 
understand them well enough
to track the problem down.
