In case you've recorded accurately what you did and the commands you 
issued, you made a mistake in issuing the mount command. It should be

----------------------------------------
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/pcmcia
----------------------------------------

Note the numeral 1 after hdc, which points the mount command to a 
(presumably) valid partition on the drive hdc. Hope that solves your 
problem.
