It acts like it doesn't recognize the card. If I do a fdisk100, it says
something to the effect that "fdisk not supported on drive a", and if I do a
format "cannot format drive a". The compact flash card and pcmcia adapter
does work fine in the digital camera I took it out of. Perhaps the pcmcia
adapter that came from the camera isn't quite standard (it's a very old
camera)? I dunno. I am the first owner of the 200LX and I have never used
any pcmcia devices in it, perhaps it is broken? I hate to spend money on
another CD & PCMCIA adapter if it's broken :\

No I didn't, I should go look at it :)
