Unfortunately, this doesn't help much... the Gayle chip (that implements
PCMCIA for the Amiga 600 and 1200) was designed before the PCMCIA
specification was finalized, and simply doesn't work (hardware-wise) 
with every card. Multifunction cards are even worse, as the Amiga PCMCIA
bus doesn't have lots of address space it can map the i/o to. Aymeric
Vincent (who implemented NetBSD/amiga PCMCIA) can probably tell more
about this.
