Right, that's when you use the CS package which is a bit of  overkill
for  an  embedded  system,  especially  when you want to put the root
filesystem on the flash card.

I was speaking about the "simple" IDE interface which  you  get  with
the  CONFIG_IDE_8xx_PCCARD  config  option  (plus  one of 8xx_PCCARD,
8xx_DIRECT, or EXT_DIRECT). In this  case,  Linux  reads  the  memory
mapping from the PCMCIA controller registers.
