        Hello All, Been very unsuccessful in trying to read the above
        card using the pcmcia-tools . I have a laptop (of course) .
        system info : IBM ThinkPad 385ed 80MBmemory . Latest bios ...
        When I boot up the tools won't install memory_cs for the above
        card . But If I manually do an 'insmod memory_cs' & then
        re-insert the card , then the /dev/mem0* entries appear .
        This is only -after- I reinsert the card , so the driver does
        know that this is a memory card .

        But, Then if I do a 'dd if=/dev/mem0c0b count=2 | strings' all
        I see is information about my video controller . no matter which
        of the device files I use . And if I increase the count=xx to a
        higher value the info only repeats over and over again . See below

        What the hell am I doing wrong here . I do understand that the
        devices that are FFS formated can't be used but the tools -DO-
        see this card , but won't install the driver . If I manually
        install the driver & reinsert then the tools don't see the cards
        info , but do add the mem0* entries .
