 Saw on Martin Husemann's post about wanting to branch 4.0 and wanting to fix some
 bugs that they considered "show-stoppers".
 
 The apa1460 aic interface works for me on two systems:
 (1) IBM Workpad Z50 running NetBSD/hpcmips version 3.0 -

 -----------------
 
 The PCMCIA interface in the Z50 is not an Intel chip - its a NEC VR4171. Just looks like
 an Intel chip:)
 
 Both systems are relatively slow by todays standards.  I don't normally use the
 1460 in my Multia, I just compiled a new kernel to see if the 1460 would work.  It's
 slow but does work - I could read an old NetBSD install CD via the aic interface.
 
 HTH:)
