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.

Hm. My laptop runs XP, but I saw a floppy-drive-like-device that lets you
plug a PC card into a desktoy which I could put in my linux machine to
try it. If it's FAT16, the XP box might be able to see it. I'll try
that first, if it doesn't work, I'll go buy the hardware for my linux box.

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.

Actually, I have two, which is better then one, but not great. And I'm hoping
when I get closer to getting it working I can get a few more examples from
other people.

Thanks!
