the following is NOT a flame, criticism, or anything remotely
resembling a complaint, ok, its alpha and I know what that means.
(its been a long week, mountain dew levels dropping....)
We now return to our story :-)

Well I still had my notebook at 2.1 Release so I thought I
would give the pcmcia stuff a try. got it, read it, untarred it, built it.
"good so far" says I .....

Soooo I reboot and my pcmcia 3c589 which always worked using zp0
is not recognized as a nep0. Hmmmmmm
an lsdev shows it as unconfigured

I pop in a megahertz xj2288 card, machine beeps, message says
"card inserted" looks good, 
 start seyon, strange sounds of angels singing in 
the background and the room is bathed in a glow, IT IS ALIVE, IT WORKS.
nice job guys, I like it :-)

now the pcmcia 3c589B is no joy, what are the important
relationships between nep0 kernel device, zp0 (which I now commented out),
and the pccard.conf file.
the kernel spits out the following:
Card inserted, slot 1
Card inserted, slot 0
Map I/O 0x2e8 (size 0x8) on Window 0
Map I/O 0x300 (size 0x10) on Window 0

0x300 is the address of the 3com

anyone else playing with this, I will have my hands on an adaptec slimscsi
monday and at the least wanted to have a little practice.

thanks,
