Yes, I have used several different PC/104 PCMCIA controllers on Linux,
all worked fine,
but that was on x86. They appear as regular ISA devices to the kernel
(just as any
other PC/104 card). I have noticed that the TS-7000s don't have all of
the PC/104 pins.
Read page 27 of the TS-2700 product manual, it indicates its a subset of
the PC/104
bus. According to the manual, the missing pins are only for legacy
devices, but I have
to question that since there is lots of PC/104 stuff floating around.
Anways, check
the manual for the PC/104 PCMCIA module and see if it only requires the
64 pins on the
single connector (match the pinouts with the TS-7200 manual). Every
PC/104 stack I have
ever used has the other set of 40 pins (64 + 40 = PC104). All PC/104
PCMCIA boards I
have seen have 104 pins (64+40).

Yes, again mini-PCI looks just like PCI, at least on x86 it does. Have
used miniPCI
ethernet, wireless, audio, and video.

I don't see a miniPCI slot on the TS-7250. Usually a PC/104 CPU board
will be 16-bit
ISA expansion only, while PC/104+ will be 32-bit PCI. I have seen some
PC104 carriers
that have dual miniPCI slots on them, but they're surely 32-bit and
therefore likely
PC/104+ (not compatible with PC/104).
I have no idea if the same drivers for these ISA PC104 devices will
compile on Arm.
Hopefully somebody else can shed some light on that. I'm just now
switching towards
Arm after long usage of PC/104 x86 embedded boards.
