I have never been able to make the SRAM card work.

I happen to have one laying around.
I booted from the CD and upon getting to the desktop I inserted the
Memory cards.  I again heard the dreaded two-tone beep.  The cards were 
not recognized.

> apt-get install pcmcia-cs
Yep...done that, been there
Except that i do not see a pcmcia-cs package.

****
linux:~ # apt-cache search pcmcia
hotplug - Automatic configuration of hotplugged devices
kdeutils3-laptop - KDE utility programs for laptop users
km_pcmci - PCMCIA kernel module sources
pcmcia - PCMCIA support for Linux (also needed for kernel 2.4)
pcmcia-cardinfo - GUI for pcmcia card information and management
****

I did install km_pcmci and I am able to compile and install it.  Only to
later see this:
