I meant to add this last night but it was late when I remembered. Some older laptops with 2 slots have one PCMCIA and one set up as Cardbus. Also, the Cardbus support in the kernel which appeared after the last time I used a 589 may interfere with how things are initialised. The 'pccard0=disabled' option may or may not help. Along with plan9.ini, the output of /bin/pci may be useful.
