I know on older PCMCIA card - the Vpp should be at 12v - how about the newer
type II and III card? are they still set to 12volt DC? Is there a PCMCIA
spec sitting around somewhere
on the net that I can browse?

Most of the newer FLASH cards do not use Vpp.

Type II & Type III refer to the card thickness and have nothing to do with
Vpp.

should Vpp tie to VCC (5v) - does any other pcmcia card use the Vpp power
signal?

Some rotating disks may need 12v.
Many other cards have Vpp not connected at all.

this depends... if you are a pcmcia member then yes, else - maybe :)

Modern floppies and all 2.5" drives are 5 volts only.
