I'm having problems with XP embedded builds (existing, and new) trying to
connect to a PCMCIA/Cardbus card (Sierra Wireless AirCard 880E or an AC875)

Problem is that what did work fine with both AC875 and AC880E and is now
failing to discover these cards when installed.

The hardware that is my target (Giantec Zito 1500) has a Ricoh 5C475 or
5C520 cardbus controller (the driver is generic).

When I plug in the AirCard I get addition devices "underneath" the Ricoh
controller in XP device manager "devices by connection" view - so I'm
guessing that the NEC PC to USB Open Host Controller is actually on the
Sierra AirCard.

Zito 1500
- PCI Bus
- Intel 82801 PCI Bridge 244E
- Ricoh Cardbus Controller
- NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller (fails to start)
- NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller (fails to start)
- (AirCard 875 should be here)

Hello Dean,
I don't know anything about Ricoh device, but I suggest you to look into
setupapi.log file in c:\Windows,
devices install are logged into this file: perhaps you'll find there more
info about the error.
If your device shows errors even in XP retail, don't look more in XPE: check
with onother unit since it could be a failure.

It did, unfortunately, turn out to be bad hardware (cpu w/pc card slot). I
say unfortunately since it was a brand new unit, straight out of stock....

The joys of being a software guy ;-)

cheers,
