I'd be really keen if Brett, or anyone else could chip in a little bit to help me fund Mike. I'll buy the cards and ship them to Mike (it's only 800km from Melbourne to Adelaide). As Mike says, there are already drivers written for BSD/OS, and FreeBSD for the PCCARD, so all that needs to be done is make the ISA code work. Danny
