PCCARD is in a severe state of flux since the CardBus chips in modern
laptops are not backwards-compatible to the existing code.  

For the record, I have a Digital HiNote 575 (which is out of production)

getting quite proprietary and may not work; ThinkPads have nutty keyboards
that may require sc0 flags but otherwise appear to work.
