[ale] PCMCIA on Toshiba Satellite 200CDS

[J.D. Forinash]

I've got a Toshiba Satellite 200 CDS laptop that runs Red Hat 7.0. (I hadn't
previously had Linux on it...) After some arguing with X, everything on the 
laptop works beautifully. 

I also have a docking station for it. It would make sense to put the PCMCIA
network card into the docking station-- after all, it's at home I use the
network card, elsewhere I use the modem. 

Unfortunately, Linux's PCMCIA card services doesn't see the PCMCIA slots in 
the docking station (sees the mouse port fine, though...) and after some
poking about, I'm not sure what I'd need to do to make them visible-- or
if it's even possible. The PCMCIA card services configuration stuff I've
found doesn't seem to mention any laptop quite this venerable. 

Anyone done anything similar that might could point me in the right 
direction? Please email any ideas direct to me (foxtrot at cc.gatech.edu), 
and I'll post a summary to the list. (I'll still get it if the reply's 
to the list...)

Another only somewhat related question: The MC in PCMCIA stands for
"Memory Card". Does this solely refer to Flash memory and the like,
or does anyone make DRAM memory cards that one could use to augment
main memory (slow as it may be...) on a laptop like this that was 
designed for a max of only 40 meg?
