Yes, all signals except the clock are pulled up to +5V (10K), and a small cap 
to ground (don't know their values yet).

I started to add some caps close to the socket. Now more cards are working 
with a 2.6.32.2 kernel. But when I boot a 2.6.31 kernel instead, some are 
still do not work. Curious.

I tried it, but it makes no difference.
