It works fine, but in the same manner as the normal 'ISA' drivers.  If
the card/driver parameters don't match, then the driver won't find the
card.  The zp0 is a 'dedicated' driver and doesn't take advantage of the
fact that PCMCIA card can be configured to almost anywhere.  That code
exists in FreeBSD, but isn't documented well enough to use for 'GENERIC'
users.
