Hi, Laptop PC-UNIX users!

Now I release the PCMCIA installation floppy (pccard.flp 960211) for
FreeBSD 2.1.0R.

You can install FreeBSD 2.1.0R with various PCMCIA Ethernet cards,
PCMICA modem cards, and *CD-ROMs over PCMCIA SCSI cards* !!

You can get it from,

ftp://bash.cc.keio.ac.jp/pub/os/FreeBSD/alpha-test/pccard-flp/pccard-flp-960211.tar.gz

[CAUTION]: We are not responsible for the proper functioning of it,
and we are not responsible for damages incurred with its use.

Currently this floppy supports:

Machines:
	Laptops with Intel i82365SL or compatible PCICs (Cirrus Logic,
	VLSI, Vadem, etc.)

We have tested not tested all cards.  These cards witout "(IRQ x)"
uses IRQ 10 or IRQ 11.  Please confirm that your machine does not use
IRQ 10 or IRQ 11 before installation.  I'm not sure whether this
floppy can drive the cards whose IRQ is 3 properly.

The pccard driver is based on "pccard-test" package 960207-alpha
release.  If you want to read the source of this floppy, please wait
for the next release of "pccard-test" package.  If you need it ASAP,
please e-mail me about it.
