I have a similar setup (PCMCIA adapter for SmartMedia cards). It took me
some time to get it to find the right combination and the right order for
the drivers, but it now works fine. You may find the following URL of

Fyi, I'm using the SIO drivers and they didn't interfere in the PCMCIA
setup in any way. One thing you should be aware of is that you have to
"mount" the drive before you're able to access it. This is done with the
Mount Utility (ATAMNT2.EXE) that should be found in the PC Card Director
folder. But since you have the "not ready" symbol, you may not be able to
mount the drive.
I can send you a copy of the critical CONFIG.SYS statements that work for
me, if you want.
