Ed, thank you for your reply. I have some follow-on questions.

>Yes.

What does this mean ?
Can I access with such a device driver only devices which happen to be on
my target PC, or is there any kind of emulation of (also Omnigo) devices ?

Yes, I have looked at this sample, but found a lot of questions
unanswered, what could mean that information is missing. For example, in
the sample I could not find any code which issues the actual (PCMCIA)
device specific read/write instructions. Did I overlook something ? Also,
I could not find out what exactly the functions of and interfaces to the
card services are. Are those described somewhere in more detail ?

Regards, Hans Diel
