pcmcia & floppy on HP xt1500

[mono toy <mono@spurious.biz>]

dear list,

does anyone have experience with debian on HP models?

i finally managed to get basic things to work on my xt1500, but no luck with
pcmcia nor floppy.

- pcmcia: it just says:

    Linux PCMCIA services 3.1.33
        kernel build: 2.4.18-bf2.4 unknown
        options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm]
    Intel ISA/PCI/CardBus PCIC probe:
        no bridges found.

- usb floppy:
    
    it detects the usb device, but i can't mount it. what /dev/ could it be?

mono@tycho:~$ uname -prsnm
Linux tycho 2.4.18-bf2.4 i686 unknown

mono@tycho:~$ lspci

many thanks,

nico
