_How_ does loadbsd find it? Does it simply look in the resident list or
does it OpenResource("card.resource") ?
AFAIK, only the second way is safe. If this OpenResource() succeeds, then
you really have PCMCIA, i.e. you have an A600 or A1200. Then you can check
further whether AGA is set in the GfxBase to determine which of them.
If this OpenResource fails, then test for AGA, if <yes> then it is an 
A4000, else if there is an A3000-Bonus it is an A3000 else it is an
A2000.

This should IMHO work... :-)
