Is yours also a model 860?  I think there is also a model 820.  If you have one
of those, could you boot the special kernel I made for Thomas earlier in this
thread?

If it's an 860.. there is likely no need.. unless yours is somehow different
(like if the firmware detects one of the PCMCIA cards, that would be
super-interesting)


Right now I'm in the middle of roto-tilling a large chunk of the prep code, so
I'm not in a position to build any test kernels for anyone.. Once I get this
stuff straightened out and committed, I'll build you guys a few test kernels
with PCMCIA devices.  If you could both send a list of what PCMCIA cards you
own to the list.. I'll make a kernel with support for as many as I can, and I'd
like to see some testing results from booting with those cards, taking them
in/out, using them, etc.
