Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'd like to use some PCMCIA card on a desktop machine running FreeBSD. I'm aware that many laptops & pcmcia cards are supported by the PAO package, but I haven't found any indication whether there is support for desktop pcmcia adaptors or not. I am running a 4.x freebsd, and initially want to use a compact flash to pcmcia adaptor to access jpeg photos from a digital camera via a desktop pcmcia interface. I have come across the CardPort solo, which is an ISA pcmcia adaptor, but I don't know whether this will be supported under BSD. I have also seen a PCMCIA - IDE adapter which would probably work, but is unlikely to support cards which are not storage. Does anyone know whether the cardport solo or another interface will give me PCMCIA support on my desktop machine with FreeBSD support? Thanks. -Robin Barooah To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
