You need the ide_cs module. From the PCMCIA HOWTO:

"ATA/IDE drive support is based on the regular kernel IDE driver. This 
includes SmartMedia and CompactFlash devices: these flash memory cards are 
set up so that they emulate an IDE interface. The PCMCIA-specific part of the 
driver is ide_cs. Be sure to use cardctl or cardinfo to shut down an ATA/IDE 
card before ejecting it, as the driver has not been made ``hot-swap-proof''."

There is such a module in Slackware 7.1.

I'm unsure how you would map that to your config. The new PCMCIA-CS
configuration file should have an entry for such a device.
