FreeBSD can use your PCMCIA ports. The only problem we've had is that if you use Card Services under DOS it'll reassign the card's resources and you'll have to set them back for FreeBSD to find them. I'm not aware of the current state of the PCCARD drivers, if they support automatic configuration yet. > Please respond to: ccordero.silicon.csci.csusb.edu That's not an email address, hopefully this will get through.
