Do you mean SanDisk compact FLASH cards, perhaps?  They don't have
any Vpp inputs at all.  All they need is +5V (or +3.3V) to the two
Vcc pins (13 and 38 in the Compact FLASH connector).

When I insert a SanDisk card to my laptop, the PCMCIA controller
reports that "power is not ON" to the card, even though every control
bit is in the correct state.  Haven't had the time to do more debugging
for a few days..
