I'm not Till Straumann did it.  However, this is a very special case
since it is an Airport base station.  In this case the card is tied
to an AMD SC400 with a built-in PCMCIA adapter.  It's not a full
feature PCMCIA implementation.  I think the BIOS sets up the card
partially so then you can just access it.  I just posted it to my
web-site.

Since changing jobs I've lost access to that hardware.  He did some
neat things like using the modem as a serial console.  I had it 
netboot FreeBSD and boot to multi-user using NFS for the root & swap
since you only have 4M of RAM.
