My Adaptec 1460 works (1.6U), but it is labelled '1460D' on the card
and shows up as

	aic0 at pcmcia1 function 0: Adaptec APA-1460A SlimSCSI
	scsibus0 at aic0: 8 targets, 8 luns per target

in dmesg. I do not know if/how those adapters differ.

With a TI cardbus bridge i get different bus #s for the cardbuses:

	cardslot0 at cbb0 slot 0 flags 0
	cardbus0 at cardslot0: bus 3 device 0
	pcmcia0 at cardslot0
	cbb1: interrupting at irq 11
	cardslot1 at cbb1 slot 1 flags 0
	cardbus1 at cardslot1: bus 4 device 0
	pcmcia1 at cardslot1

Since I think they are numbered along with pci, this might be the problem.
Do other cards (real cardbus) work?
