I do actually have Linux running on it (it's recompiling the kernel right=
 now,
very slowly), but it's a very old version and hardware support is poor. I=
 was
hoping that NetBSD's better modularity would give better support for thin=

like the PCMCIA, which should hopefully be largely generic SA1100.

Is there really not enough information available in the Linux kernel sour=
ce to
implement all this in NetBSD?

Oh, dear. Comments in the Linux source code along the lines of:

	/* What's this anyway? */

=2E..do not inspire confidence.

Yes, I scrounged mine from work too. I actually also got a Victor MP-C101=

hpcmips device too, but that's a story for another mailing list. (NetBSD
doesn't run on that, either. Sigh...)
