I used the cardmem mechanism from PAO for the 3.x version of the driver and it worked reasonably well. Does this exist in -current and -stable? If cardmem is in -current I can use it as a temporary measure but I do not really like it. I have a friend with a SCSI card that uses 0xd40000 for BIOS and he has great difficultly in keeping track of changes to pccard.conf. Using the cardmem feature will make changing the base address for a user much harder (they will have more lines to edit).
