I'm confused about what you mean by a 44-pin carrier.

Likewise, what jumper??
Here's where I'm coming from:
Thinkpad A20m, generic PCMCIA-CF adapter card (passive, just passthrough,
no electronics inside).
W98 SE and Warp 4 FP12.
Under W98 I could read a CF card (from my Nikon coolpix camera) with no
problems.
Under Warp 4, there were problems until I installed a recent DANIS506
driver that includes PCMCIA support. Since then, it's been great.
