You are not reading the manpage.  The second field on the 'config' line 
is the configuration index, not the port address.  You can list the 
configuration indices with 'pccardc dumpcis'; 0x20 is normally the 
default, and usually adequate.  You may have to pick a different one.

It is also likely that IRQ 3 is not actually free.  You should make 
sure that the IRQ listing at the top of pccard.conf is correct, and
that it matches the list of free IRQs in your system.  3 has already 
been taken by the pcic, as you would have noticed had you read what you 
quoted above.

As a sample, here are the relevant components I use :

# Resource availability
io	0x240-0x360
irq	9 5
# Available memory slots
memory	0xd4000  96k

# Megahertz XJ4336
card "Megahertz" "XJ4336-CC4336"
	config	0x21 "sio1" 5
