Mark - your post was very encouraging, and 
motivated me to look for such an article.
I found this:
http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/Cardbus/Cardbus.html
It contained a link to the earlier  USB Card Support, version 1.3.5.
The latest version (1.4.1) would not run on the 
Powerbook 3400c, but this earlier version did. 
I installed it, restarted, and put the MacAlly PC 
card in the lower of the two PC-card slots;  a 
USB/card icon appeared immediately on the 
desktop.  I connected my Epson C82 and printed 
out a document immediaely.  Everything is fine 
now.
The 3400c (which in 1997 cost me FAR more than 
any Powerbook now available) is up and running 
with USB now.
Many thanks indeed for your help.

regards,  Trevor
