Today's project is getting my pcmcia smartmedia adapter recognized and 
mounted. I was able to do this a few years ago on my old Toshiba laptop. 
That's far away in storage and I can't figure out how to do it again.

I do have my kernal configured correctly for PCMCIA and have cardmgr 
running at start up. I know this because I use a PCMCIA modem. I get the 
two high pitched beeps when I plug it in.

When I plug in the smartmedia adapter I get one high pitch beep and one 
low pitch. According to PCMCIA documentaion it means that a card was 
inserted and recognized as a pcmcia card but not configured properly.

I added:

card "eFilm SmartMedia Adapter"
   version "Delkin Devices", "SmartMedia PC Card Adapter"
   bind "memory_cs", "ftl_cs"


to /etc/pcmcia/config, shutdown cardmgr and then restarted it.

The results were the same.

The card was recognized and mounted fine on my old laptop and works fine 
when I boot into Mac OS.

Any Thoughts??

Thanks
Joe
