If you are about to use CF cards in a CF/ide adapter. those cf cards are not going to work in pcmcia, in any way...
pcmcia is for transfering files to and from the amiga. the cards has to formatted as such. (think it is fat 16 or fat 31, not sure)
When the cf cards are formatted in a cf/ide converter they are no longer removable media. they are now a permanent hard disk drive.
