PCI card. Has anyone done this?


Since you clarified you meant "PC card", then yes. The easiest way
is going to be to get a laptop, boot linux (could be from CD) and insert
the card. It will almost certainly recognize it as a storage card. Then
you have to figure out what's stored on it. Might be a filesystem (likely
FAT16) or it might be flat data.

Once you figure that out you'll have to figure out what the data format
is. Among other things there will probably be a checksum or CRC that you'll
have to figure out how to produce. This will be especially hard with only
one example to go on.
