In principle yes but it will require a rewrite of some parts of the
PCMCIA support code.

I can't say for sure.  The detection of card type (16 vs 32 bit, and
3v versus 5v) is supposed to be done in the bridge hardware; there is
no software intervention in the process.  A damaged connector could
make it misbehave.
