It Well, I've send my code (implementing PCMCIA as an additional bus, but more like a SCSI than the ISA bus) to the NetBSD people some time ago. A new version will be out soon (friday or monday). If it's my code this is referring too, I've also sent it to Poul-Henning Kamp, he wanted to integrated it in FreeBSD. >would definately more in line with what I'd like to see, and if no >functionality trade-off need be made to have it at this time, then I'm >REALLY interested. I don't know your functionality, it can do runtime insert/removal and configuration of the socket automaticly by parsing the CIS info (for 'known' cards) or from a user program. I can send you the latest NetBSD version if you want. > > Jordan Stefan -- Stefan Grefen Convex Computer GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany grefen@convex.com Phone: +49-69-665270
