Thanks, but I have a ti1221 :).  I managed to get the cardbus to
probe proerly by forcing the driver use the correct base addr, however
now it crashes when futzing with my pcmcia card.  That's much farther
than it used to get though.  I ripped out all the "unibus" stuff, which
doesn't seem to have any use, really.  The crash problem appears to be
do to allocating memory mapped io space wrong (sounds familiar :))
