they're quite common in docking stations. netbsd will just have to
learn to deal with it.

Hi,
I found some (passive?) backplanes that use multiple standard=20
PCI/ISA bridges (440BX southbridges IIRC) with 10ths of ISA=20
and/or PCI slots. These would be nice dialin servers and I thought I=20
could operate them under NetBSD. I guess I have to get a sample=20
for testing.
