As I have understood it, it is not electrically incompatible,
but it is not PCMCIA;
10 or so of the address lines are really data in (D0-D7+clock+
data-valid-line, or something like that), and the same number
of data lines are data out.
There might be PCMCIA modes where you can upgrade firmware
etc, but I don't think you can typically make it decode data
in a typical PCMCIA slot (if you don't manage to emulate
data in with the address lines and read back the data on
the data lines).
