	      o	Missed wd interrupt after suspend/resume.
	      o Suspend/resume sometimes drains battery real fast.
	      o Looking for pcmcia 3c589 driver.
	      o Bios setup sometimes cant get keys.

	I have a Digital Hinote Ultra (i486dx) which I've started having
	problems with since I upgraded to -current (about may 7). I'm also
	running with pcmcia support from parnoux@orli.com but that only
	went in today & does not affect the problem :)

	It has a suspend mode (close the lid) which worked fine under 1.0,
	but under -current after its resumed the first time it hits the
	disk the indicator flicks, then it sits there for about 6 seconds
	and then I get

		wd0: wdcstart: timeout waiting for drq: status 0 error 0
		wdc0: lost interrupt: status 50<drdy,dsc> error 0

	Has anyone any ideas where I could start looking for this - up till
	now my coding has been strictly at the app level, but I'm willing to
	start :)

	Normally the suspend mode will last for days without any appreciable
	loss of battery, but sometimes it drains totally just after an hour
	or so - I'm hoping this is related to the above.. (obviously).

	Tracking -current is a little involved for this box, as although I
	have a 3c589 I haven't seen a driver yet, so I have to zmodem
	compressed tarfiles down over a serial link into the back of a 
	sun, but maybe I'm just been spoilt in the past :)

	The machine also has the usual lapton Fn+key for various features
	(External monitor, full/half speed etc). Fn+F3 gives me the setup
	screen, but sometimes (often) neither the keys nor the mouse
	work... Putting the machine into standby & the resuming will get
	back to NetBSD (the only way). I guess this is just NetBSD having
	the keyboard/mouse in a funny state & its something I'll have to
	live with - but I thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas anyway!

	PS: I'd just like to say thanks to parnoux@orli.com for the pcmcia
   	    driver thats letting me write this via a Multitech modem! :)
