Don't suspect, it makes you look silly. Instead, go to PLX's site and
discover that the 9052 is actually a PCI to generic-bus bridge. There are
two possible options from here; one is that it's trying hard to look
enough like the PCCARD bus on the other side to fool the pccard, the other
is that the pccard is actually in "hardwired" mode (which some of these
cards support) and the whole thing looks like a single peripheral.

Start with PLX's website, and then work backwards from the wiring layout
on the board. Seriously.
