You can't use your PCMCIA card...
VPC does not recognize PCMCIA cards in the Mac. Also, VPC only
emulates USB 1.0.
You can use the Shared Folders options and transfer data that way from
the Mac to VPC, or you can drag and drop files from the Mac desktop to
the Windows desktop and vice-versa.
Both of these (Shared folders and drag and drop) are functions of the
VPC Additions.
