I've installed 4.0-R via a 3c589C with no problems. I assume 4.1-R would
also have no problems.

You use the ep driver, and do a pcmcia install. Works fine, but you
have to get your pcmcia controller and irqs for the cards done
correctly and install with pcmcia. PAO is no longer required for this
to work well.

-mobile would be a better place to ask about this.
