About 12 months ago I contacted Nogatec about their PCMCIA cards
as I needed some for my research project.

Notatec said, they would love to help but
a) all their staff were tied up with the Win NT driver
b) they developed the chipset inside the card themselves. They
have some internal design documents on how the chipset works,
some details are just comments in their driver and some details of
how the chipset works were just in their design staff's heads.

So, they had no datasheet they could pass on.

Now that was 12 months ago. The situation will be different now.

If anywone wants to write a driver, I can give them the email of their
engineers in Israel.

BTW, it will not be like a Bt848. The PCMCIA bus is a 16 bit bus,
more like ISA.

Another point. The IBM Smart Capture Card is another video capture
card which the FreeBSD PAO drivers support.
After weeks of phoning IBM UK, I found they could order me some
from Japan (where they sell them) for about 400 UK pounds.
