Are you reading flash cards via a PCMCIA slot? Was: Need ide-cs module

[Jim Hart]

OK, let me change the request. Would anyone who is able to put a flash 
memory card into an adapter, insert it into a PCMCIA slot and then read 
data or pictures from it, in YDL,  please contact me? I want to find 
out the details of how you got it to work.

BTW, I followed the pcmcia HOWTO at The Linux Documentation Project. It 
assumes that you have the ide-cs module on your system.

tia,
