So for the last two months you've been schlepping it around, and I haven't. The CDrom on my desktop PC has been sitting idle for months. Some people use them a lot, but for what I do they're rarely useful, so I'm still happy with[out] it. As soon as this unit (or a similar one) works, it's gone. >As well as this, we'll need the 'pccardc dumpcis' output and the >resource declarations from the top of your /etc/pccard.conf file.

I was sorta tired last night and couldn't remember this command. Tried to puzzle it out, but I know the problem I think: no man page? >Also, you will need the PAO patches to the aic driver (at least) to get >this working under mainstream FreeBSD.

I'd like to avoid having to make the jump to PAO if I can; the boss' laptop is somewhere else and I don't *really* want to spend a weekend getting the PAO stuff working, just so I can go do it again on his machine! :-/ Sigh. Thanks for the help. Brian
