ok - i got a lot of those problems solved so far - see below
if you are interested in the details - first a big thanks to
warner for all his great work (and also to the pao people) -
so far i think i have -current useable now
still open are the following three questions:
* does anbody know something about the sound on this machine - it
has a neomagig 256av chip on it which does as far as i found out
also does the sound - even the soundblaster plus emulation a 0x220
works (but is only 8 bit) - all my tries to find somekind of wss
emulation failed so far - also oss did not work due to irq problems
- so anyone here have any other ideas to get it working ?
* is there any way to get the touchpad working in the "touching
on the pad means press left button" mode - currently only the
button itself is useable as button ? - i tried to add "flags 0x800"
to the psm driver which should give bit 11 set like in the psm
man page described but it did not help
* is there anything new known about the state of usb floppy support ?
a lot of thanks in advance - folling now the problems i have so far
solved and the solutions ...

ok that was an irq problem - somehow the irq used (3) ist also
used by the graphics board - so if i force the card to use irq
15 everything is fine

also this one is solved - from warners description so far in a
posting of the last days this seems to be a cardbus card which
is so far not supportet yet

those two are working now after explicitely specifying the irq and
port the pcic device (its an ricoh 475 pci one - which seems to be
supported in isa compatibelity mode as far as i understand it - be-
fore i tried to use it as native pci device which endet up in no
correctly assigned interrupt and thus the "polling" message on boot-
up) - now it is working fine and discovers both modem and 3com card
and they are working

will try that with the diffs posted here soon
