A white plastic surface with 5 gold ovals on it?

Hmm ... directly behind what must be the trackball
port is a pcmcia port, which has an old modem
card plugged in (but without the dongle on the end).
Behind that, at the rear of the right side, is
an empty hole which also has a pcmcia connector
at the back, but it's double-card height, with
only one connector at the bottom. Did the PS/2
port plug in there?

I have a Kingston Datapak 340 (MB) hard-drive
on a pcmcia card. I tried plugging it in to
that port, and BL did see it there. Unfortunately
i don't have a driver for it, so i couldn't
mount it. Any drivers available for that which
will work in BL?
