Hi!
I'm the maintainer of PC-card package for FreeBSD(the latest release
is pccard-test-960328).
I want to start "Laptop Survey" project on FreeBSD. Linux has the
same survey for long, and I think it is very useful.
If you're using FreeBSD on laptop machines, please fill in the form
given below and send it to me (Reply-To: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp).
I wrote two samples corresponding to my two laptop machines (Digital
Hinote and Digital Hinote Ultra). I will publish the result on the
Web pages, and incorporate it into our PC-card package.
(If you're interested in PC-card (PCMCIA) driver for FreeBSD, detailed
information can be found at,
http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa/freebsd-pcmcia/
If you install this package, please send me the report about it)
Thanks.

RATOC REX5535 does not work, but I have no idea. APM driver works
without COMPAT_APM10, but it seems rather unstable.

To use modem card, setting IRQ to 16 (PIO hack) is required. REX-5535
does not work, but I have no idea. No machine-depend "options" are
required except "LAPTOP".
