This is the only place I've found to ask questions about PAO in English,
even though it's not strictly a 'mobile' question ...

I've got a desktop PC with a fairly old ISA 4 slot pc-card controller
that the price was right on ($30) which I bought to do backups of the
flash card in my palmtop.
I used the card in my old P133 running 2.2.8-R and it worked fine
once I fiddled with it enough to make it happy (io, irqs, memory,
spare IDE controller in the kernel, etc).

On my new machine (BX6v2, C300A) running 3.2-S as of a couple of weeks
ago the PAO3 3.2-R snapshot doesn't install cleanly but with some
small fudging everything patches. Some files that were to be created
already exist with equal or neweer revisions. Hopefully this isn't a
problem - anyone using PAO3 with 3.2-S ?

The controller is recognised:
pcic0 at 0x3e0-0x3e1 irq 11 flags 0x1 on isa
PC-Card ctlr(0) Intel 82365A/B (5 mem & 2 I/O windows)
pcic0: slot 0 controller I/O address 0x3e0
pcic0: slot 1 controller I/O address 0x3e0
pcic0: slot 2 controller I/O address 0x3e0
pcic0: slot 3 controller I/O address 0x3e0

I tried with or without flags 0x1, on a couple of different irqs, nothing
I do gets my cards recognised:

pccardd[65]: No card in database for "(null)"("(null)") [(null)] [(null)]

I get some things out of pccardc dumpcis for my sandisk flashcard:

pir@peem# pccardc dumpcis
Code 85 not found
Code 85 not found
code Unknown ignored
Configuration data for card in slot 2
Tuple #1, code = 0x0 (Null tuple), length = 36
    000:  8f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1e 00 00 50 49 04
    010:  78 00 18 00 00 40 00 00 00 0d 42 4f 20 78 61 64
    020:  18 18 18 18
Tuple #2, code = 0x18 (JEDEC descr for common memory), length = 24
    000:  18 18 38 38 38 38 38 38 38 38 b6 5d 07 08 00 ff
    010:  ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Tuple #3, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0
4 slots found

Hopefully this is just something small and stupid I've missed, but
I'm stumped and searching hasn't turned up any useful information.

The other thing is the machine is pure scsi, no IDE devices and the
controllers are disabled in the BIOS to free up IRQs.  Am I going to
have problems keeping an instance of wdc available in the kernel for
flash card IDE emulation ?

Thanks for any clues,
Peter.
