DELL has some bios updates mentioning expresscard support improvements
for some laptops, maybe that's the case for you too?

In any case, it should be possible to make it work on windows, or work
with DELL to make it work. Usually they are less reluctant to help
windows users than they are to help Linux users. They always seem to
expect that crappy hardware is due to the Linux OS.

The Ricoh controller is a mistery to me too. I really can't figure out
what the exact problem is. In the logs you provided I don't see it
though. What version of the Ricoh chip do you have?
