They don't work today, but as soon as I can get my hands on one they
will.  We need folks to add PCMCIA emulation mode to the various CardBus
controlles like Ted Faber did for newer laptops to get support for
them.  Since there are a limited amount of CardBus controllers and they
ae similar, it shouldn't be too much work but we need *volunteers* to do
it.
