Anybody managed to get the new Hitachi 4GB PCMCIA (CF Form) Microdrive to work
under 5.3?

Have both pccard and cardbus loaded (kernel compile).  Doesn't automagically
find.  Have attempted to help with pccard.conf.  Tried the following
combinations (mix and match as needed):


card "HITACHI" "microdrive"
card "IBM" "microdrive"
        config 0x03 "ata" ?
        config 0x01 "ata" ? iosize 16

NOTE dmesg outputs on insert:

# dmesg | grep pccard
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
pccard0: Allocation failed for cfe 0
pccard0: <unknown card> (manufacturer=0x0319, product=0x0000) at function 0
pccard0:    CIS info: HITACHI, microdrive, (null)

#dmesg | grep cbb
cbb0: <RF5C476 PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0xb0000000-0xb0000fff irq 11 at device
0.0 on pci2
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
cbb0: PC Card card activation failed
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0

Don't have a native CF slot on my laptop (IBM X40) so using 16bit CF PCMCIA
adapter that came with the microdrive.

Ideas?
