You can grab a copy for NetBSD-current (1.0 BETA) from
ftp.cs.washington.edu:pub/ux-pcmcia/netbsd. 
It will work for 1.0 I guess but you have to be careful about 
isa/com.c patch. com.c changed since I made the diffs.

I'll send out a new version as soon as NetBSD 1.0 is out there.

Due workload the next major version will have to wait until 
my vacation (somewhere september/october).

As long as it is not in the 'official' version use the one from 
ftp.cs.washington.edu (or is this on sun-lamp too, it's hard to get
there ...)
