Funny thing is, NetBSD/i386 1.4.2 (TP760EL) doesn't have a problem with the
IBM Dock Station II. But 1.5Alpha2 does... What was changed, I guess is the
question... I'm gonna try loading 1.5Alpha2 this week, or even 1.5_Beta,
while the TP760EL is in the Dock Station...

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
PCI/ISA bridges (440BX southbridges IIRC) with 10ths of ISA
and/or PCI slots. These would be nice dialin servers and I thought I
could operate them under NetBSD. I guess I have to get a sample
for testing.
