Hello,

If you can't help me with this, can you possibly point me to someone who might?

I'm trying to get an ISA PC card reader working, and FreeBSD identifies it as 

    unknown0: <SCM SwapBox Plug and Play> at port 0x3e0-0x3e1 on isa0

The card is an SCM SwapBox 2 slot Cardbust compliant ISA card whith a 3.5" card reader module. It uses the Vadem 469 chipset, which I know that FreeBSD supports. Is there any possiblity I can just somehow modify a table somewhere in the kernel so that it treats this card the same as a Vadem 469 card? If it matters, the chipset is on the reader module, which is connected to the ISA card via a pair of ribbon cables.

Thanks if you can help, and if not, thanks anyway!
