Hello,

If you can't help me with this, can you possibly point me to someone who =
might?

I'm trying to get an ISA PC card reader working, and FreeBSD identifies =
it as=20

    unknown0: <SCM SwapBox Plug and Play> at port 0x3e0-0x3e1 on isa0

The card is an SCM SwapBox 2 slot Cardbust compliant ISA card whith a =
3.5" card reader module. It uses the Vadem 469 chipset, which I know =
that FreeBSD supports. Is there any possiblity I can just somehow modify =
a table somewhere in the kernel so that it treats this card the same as =
a Vadem 469 card? If it matters, the chipset is on the reader module, =
which is connected to the ISA card via a pair of ribbon cables.

Thanks if you can help, and if not, thanks anyway!
