Folks:
I am new to this list, but have been enjoying it. Now I will pass a 
question on to you all, I have a desktop running RH 7.1. I wanted
to be able to pull image files off of the compact flash cards my
camera uses, so I went out a purchased a Antec DataChute PCMCIA
PCI adaptor in order to put PCMCIA on my desktop machine.
I can put NIC cards, wireless NIC cards, modems, and serial port cards 
in it and all appear to work just fine. But when I put a compact flash 
card in it, the machine locks up. If I pop the card out the machine will
start to respond slowly and then finally you hear two beeps and things
are back to normal.
Below is a copy of the message log (/var/log/messages)

This is a PCI device but it is grabbing  ISA interrupts.  Have any of
you tried to get one of these devices to work on your machine?
Tnx in advanced for your time.
