No worries, I can always reinstall BL3. It's quite small and copies
across fine from the PCMCIA cdrom. As for what the card uses I am not
sure -- from googling all I can tell is it uses all 3 but I'm not sure
how to find out. On a newer laptop with SW12 I'm using ndiswrapper
btw, and that works with this pcmcia card.

I've tried a PCMCIA cdrom on this toshiba liberetto 50 laptop and it
works (to a fashion). After installing BL3 /etc/pcmcia/start will
start ok though I need to do extra stuff each time for the cdrom. If I
just try to mount the cdrom at this point with "mount /dev/hdc /cdrom"
(/cdrom exists, I made that directory) I get "no such device or
address". But doing the following fixes it;

cd /lib/modules/2.2.26
cd misc
insmod cdrom.o
insmod ide-cd.o
insmod isofs.o

Then doing mount /dev/hdc /cdrom works :) .
