The toshiba laptops have a bios setting you can use to force it to use PCIC mode instead of cardbus mode, and it works in that mode, so as long as your cards are not really cardbus cards, you can just change that bios setting. It is unlikely I will update card services, like everything else it just gets bigger and in line ahead of it for upgrades when 1.72 > 1.72 are upgrades to libc, the kernel, fdisk, mount, lilo, e2fsck, and more. I checked yesterday though, and 1.72 was still only equal to 1.72, so those are on hold too... unfortunately, because pcmcia is so tightly tied to the kernel, you have to basically replace the whole thing and your kernel if you want to do it yourself. But, again, in the case of the Toshiba, you are probably fine just by changing the bios setting (I use it with a Tecra 8100, which I think is still current, as well as a couple of various porteges, they all work with the bios change).
