NAME

       pcic - Intel i82365SL PC Card Interface Controller

DESCRIPTION

       The  Intel i82365SL PC Card interface controller provides one or more PCMCIA PC card sockets. The pcic driver implements a PCMCIA bus nexus
       driver.

       The driver provides basic support for the Intel 82365SL and compatible chips. Tested chips are:

	   o	  Intel -- 82365SL.

	   o	  Cirrus Logic -- PD6710/PD6720/PD6722.

	   o	  Vadem -- VG365/VG465/VG468/VG469.

	   o	  Toshiba -- PCIC and ToPIC

	   o	  Ricoh -- RF5C366/RL5C466/RL5C475/RL5C476/RL5C477/RL5C478.

	   o	  02Micro -- OZ6912/6972.

	   o	  Texas Instruments -- PCI1130/PCI1131/PCI1031/PCI1221/PCI1225/PCI1520/PCI 1410/PCI1420/PCI4520/PCI7510/PCI7621.

       While most systems using one of the above chips will work, some systems are not supported due to hardware designs options that may  not	be
       software detectable.

       Direct access to the PCMCIA hardware is not supported. All device access must be through the DDI.

CONFIGURATION

       Configuration of PC Card interface controllers are automatically done in the system by leveraging ACPI on x86 (or OBP on SPARC). Configura-
       tion includes allocation of device memory, I/O ports, CardBus subordinary bus number and interrupts.  There  is	no	 user-interference
       required. Note that the controller may not work when ACPI is disabled.

       There is one driver configuration property defined in the pcic.conf file:

       interrupt-priorities=6;	  This	 property must be defined and  must  be  below 10.

NAME

     pcic -- PC Card bridge driver

SYNOPSIS

     device pcic
     device pccard

DESCRIPTION

     The pcic driver provides support for older ISA and non-Yenta PCI PC Card bridges.  The pcic driver supports most ExCA devices attached to the
     ISA bus or PCI devices that do not conform to the Yenta specification.

     The following ISA devices, or true clones, are supported in the current code.

     Intel i82365SL Step A
     Intel i82365SL Step B
     Intel i82365SL Step C  Intel's original 16-bit PC Card controller.
     Intel i82365SL-DF      Intel's last version of this device.  3.3V support was added.
     VLSI 82C146            An older VLSI part with some issues on some machines.
     Cirrus Logic PD-6710
     Cirrus Logic PD-6720
     Cirrus Logic PD-6722   Cirrus Logic's pcic controller.  Compatible with the i82365SL Step C with the addition of a different 3.3V control.
     Ricoh RF5C296
     Ricoh RF5C396          Ricoh's PC Card bridge chips.  These are compatible with the i82365SL Step C, but with yet another different 3.3V con-
                            trol.
     Vadem 365
     Vadem 465              Compatible with i82365SL Step C.
     Vadem 468
     Vadem 469              Like the earlier Vadem models, but with Vadem's own, incompatible, 3.3V control system.
     IBM PCIC               IBM clone of the original i82365SL part, with its own ID register value.  Has no 3.3V ability.

     Many other vendors made parts in this arena, but most of them were compatible with one of the above chipsets.

     The following PCI pcmcia bridges are supported:

     Cirrus Logic PD6729
     Cirrus Logic PD6730

     O2micro OZ6729
     O2micro OZ6730

BUGS

     This does not work at all at the moment.
