Is that a "Satellite" 2100 CDS? The ones I googled had 64MB ram which
sounds a bit light for MD10, It might be worth trying a Debian or Slack
based distro as they might handle the pcmcia config a little different.
I popped the first MD10 CD in my Satellite 4090XCDT (128Mb p2 400Mhz)
and it passed the pcmcia detection before I bailed out (didn't wont
to overwrite my yoper :-))
