I also have the TiBook/400, and use PCMCIA adapter cards all the time 
to read compact flash. I currently use Panther (10.3.2), but it 
worked just as well with every OS since 9.2.2. I have two different 
adapters (off brands) and several compact flash chips, all work just 
as well. I never use the menu that pops up, but the card does show in 
Finder windows, also. I have my system configured not to show drives 
or cars on the desktop itself. Not sure if that would make any 
difference or not. For the last year or so I've been using 
GraphicConverter to download and save photos from cards, and have it 
configured to start up automatically as soon as I insert the card. It 
just always works; I use it almost every day.
