Thank you, my cards do have the gold strip with the bumps. Now that I
have a clue I'll see if I can find drivers for an old Wave Buddy without
the gold strip.
Thanks again,

FYI: Seems I've had at least one cardbus PC card that didn't have those
bumps on it. I could be wrong. But it'd probably be best to check the
specs on any specific card before you go nuts trying to get it working in
the 50/70CT models that don't support a 32 bit cardbus interface
I've also seen a non-cardbus card with the bumps ... so much for standards
... heh ...
The only way I've found that's a sure fire way of checking is to look at
the end of the card (the holes where the pins fit facing you). Refer to the
following diagrams.
PC-Card:

Cardbus:

Right:

Notice that the plastic ridge on the right of the card is significantly
higher on a cardbus card than on a PC-card card. This is what stops you
from plugging a cardbus card into a non-cardbus slot (or at least it should
- I've come across the odd slot where the stopper isn't strong enough and
someone has managed to force a cardbus card in).
