You need in linux:

dd if=/dev/yourpcmciadevice  of=anyfilename bs=512

like

dd if=/dev/hde of=ob430.img bs=512

how to find out which device is the OB card to use, look in my manual on 
formatting
CF cards for a MobilePro900 with linux....
it is at

and stop reading after the piece about dmesg .... , just below the 4th 
picture.
