I'll release our pccard package tomorrow.  It's based on
2.2-960323-SNAP and 2.1.0-RELEASE, supports some new cards (Contec
PCMCIA Ethernet and Megahertz X-Jack Ethernet, etc.), and many bugs of
SNAP-based version is fixed.

FYI:
My environment for development of our pc-card package
	Digital Hinote Ultra CS433 (RAM 20MB, HDD 815MB)
	Digital Hinote CS433 (RAM 20MB, HDD 720MB)
	Desktop PC (Pentium-133, RAM 16MB, HDD 4.2GB)
I love Digital Hinote Ultra.  It's very nice subnote.
The latest information of our pccard package can be found at

Enjoy!
