In short... Yes

I use a few PCMCIA hard drives for storing and swapping files from one 
laptop to another and under Windows 98SE they are recognised when they 
are plugged in to the PCMCIA port.
A small icon of a PCMCIA card will appear on the task bar and this 
should be clicked and the Card Services turned off prior to removal of 
the card. When a new card is reinserted Windows will recognise it.

Hope this has been of some help

Bob
