Hmm.  Well, my Viking CF adapter doesn't seem to be probing, but I'll try
again in a bit.  ;-)

Oh, wow.  Hmm.   I think I have one or two sandisks, one "viking", and
one "kensington" - oh, and the "minolta" that came with the camera.  Oh,
the "minolta" is really a SanDisk.

Well, my Viking PCMCIA adapter doesn't seem to do anything, at least, not
with my current laptop - although I will say, it worked in my Mac.

Plain old FAT.  Geeze.

If I can get these running, I'm *much* better off than I have been trying to
get RTS/CTS running with my Psion.  ;-)
