The lines are
alias snd-card-1 snd-vxpocket
alias sound-slot-1 snd-vxpocket
post-install snd-vxpocket /usr/bin/vxloader

Ok, here are some entries from "lspci -v":

...and then two more like the first two but with different memory
addresses on 00:0c.3 and 00:0c.4.

When I insert the vxPocket card, I get a low pitched console beep,
which according to the cardmgr man page means there was an error.
/var/lib/pcmcia/stab says both sockets are empty. /var/log/messages
has:

localhost cardmgr[804]: unsupported card in socket 0
localhost cardmgr[804]:   product info: "Digigram", "VX-POCKET", "V1.0", "R1.0"
localhost cardmgr[804]:   manfid: 0x01f1, 0x0100  function: 254 ((null))

So it definitely seems like a PCMCIA issue...any clues?
