Did the A22M have a pccard slot or just pcmcia slot?

Andy:PCCard is 32 bit and pcmcia is 16 bit (AIUI). The difference we care about though is that genmac will not work with pcmcia, only pccard.
What's the difference?
It's listed in the Hardware Manager as a Card Bus.
It uses a TI chip as the controller. Does that help?
