There is an obvious way on the A1200: the pcmcia slot. Is there support
for pcmcia from the laptop folks on the x86 end of netbsd? Well, from
what I heard the A1200's pcmcia slot is not to spec, and therefore
explains the draught of PCMCIA Ethernet and modems for the 1200.
However, Amigo Computers in Long Island, NY developed a A1200 specific
ethernet pcmcia card. It slides right in.
