Hmmm... is this is 300Mhz Powerbook G3? thats what I have... > I haven't spent much time tracking down the problem and everything > else in Debian has worked so well I just reboot into OS 9 when I need > the compact flash reader. I am using a compact flash reader, and USB 1.1 PCMCIA card in my machine, and all seems to be working fine. Remind me, and i will post my relevant config files to the internet! > One more thing I have not found a clear answer with a Wallstreet is > getting the PCMCIA eject buttons to work.

I have not yet found a way to get the cards out, short of manually pulling them out... However, i think that the springs in my slots are getting worn, and I sometimes have to do this in MacOS... BTW, are you able to get sleep support on your machine.... also, what kernel are you using... Since this is such a popular machine, perhaps it would be a good idea to pool all of our knowledge on this machine in some sort of web page...
