Sorry, thought this had sent but just found it in my drafts when I
realized I hadn't seen it come back.

First thing is that ACPI is not compatible with cbenable.
Second is that I had to make sure that Cardbus V8 is installed (eCS 2.0
RC 7 is the only so far to ship that way).
I then have the following in my config.sys:

BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS /R:500
BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS
rem BASEDEV=sspcic.sys /VS:auto /E /AP:on  //Apsoft driver
rem BaseDev=CBENABLE.SYS * * 0 0   PCIIRQ
rem BaseDev=OEMHLP2.SYS
BASEDEV=AUTODRV2.SYS
DEVICE=D:\UTILS\THINKPAD\VPCMCIA.SYS

The Apsoft driver was not compatible with cbenable.
I have cbenable remmed currently as I am not using it but this is what I
had.  IIRC oemhlp2 is also part of the cbenable and so also needs to be
unremmed.  This is the order I had the drivers as well.

The cards I used did not require unsupported mode and I don't think the
one you have there should need it.  The 2 I had that worked well were
Atheros.  The Broadcom chipset would freeze at helperw (which reminds me
that I need to find time to work with that card some more).
