When I read this email I felt like a Roman emperor, on my march of triumph through Rome, and while my heart swells with pride I have this slave wispering in my ear: "remember cesar, thou art mortal!" (look it up!) Well, I just wanted to say thanks! Sometimes we need a devils advocate ! regarding PCMCIA. I personally think that the PCMCIA spec suffers from needless generality. My plan is to implement the things we actually want to have, as opposed to things we might want to be able to do some day. That means that I will be looking for a simple framework and a lightweight implementation. The single most popular cards will be modems, ethers, disks and possibly SCSIs. I am somewhat interested in execute_in_place from a FLASH card too, but apart from that, I don't really plan to carry it further.
