  Yes, it is the same boat anchor. I should buy a new one... but I'm so
attached to this one. I read 1000 messages Wed/Thu/Fri of this week with
it... (many of which were a certain meta-flame-war)

  1.2 w/PCMCIA patches claimed that my PCMCIA hard disk was plugged into the
second controller, so I assume that I do have two 82365s. I actually have the
second one with 1.3.2 commented out to save the IRQ, and I assume that the 
PCMCIA HD is just being put into compat mode by the bios.
  I got my notebook working again, and the disk is undamaged, since only the
MBR and part of my swap was thrashed, so no longer a big deal, but I'd still
like to know why the panic() has to be there.
