I think this is another way of saying that a pcic device has either a ISA attachment, or a PCI attachment. pcic devices support pcmcia bus(es) being attached to them. This sounds exactly like the current situation wrt scsi cards. A bt device has isa and pci attachments, and supports scsi bus(es) being attach to that card. Of course other nexus hierarchies are possible. What makes things worse is that some devices that can act like the current pcic can also act like a device which can attach cardbus cards to. And sometimes those devices can be in compatibility mode, which only adds to the confusion. Warner [*] I'm hoping to say, in japanese written in romanji, "I'm very sorry. I can't speak Japanese, yet." I've started learning, but still have a long ways to go... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
