I am getting an 'unsupported card' message when I type /etc/pcmcia/start 
(which loads three modules and cardmgr -o).

cs:  memory probe - 0x0d0000-0x0dffff: clean

My readings suggest I need to add something to the config file for pcmcia 
(which contains sections about ethernet and modem but not flash card 
adaptors).

What do I need to add?

Does anyone happen to know if the serial-port connector in a digital 
camera can go bad?  I bought an Olympus D-360L to use with photopc in DOS 
and linux via a serial to submini connector.  The serial port (com2) works 
with our Epson photopc camera and the serial cable we made for the Epson, 
the Epson even works with the cable we made for the Olympus (via an 
adaptor since they use different plugs) but we get the same error message 
using the Olympus with this serial cable in com2 that we do using the 
Epson (that works fine in com2) plugged into a bad com1 (probably the 
cable inside got unplugged).  I have one week to return the camera, which 
takes perfect pictures but was sold with no cables or memory.  (The 
digital display is missing one segment but I don't care if I have 29 or 39 
pictures left).

I am considering getting a Smartmedia PCMCIA adaptor for it (it works with 
a card reader) if we can get this compact flash one working.
