NetBSD does not (yes) deal with PnP support in the kernel. If you can disable the PnP mode, you can use the card, of course, by setting it at appropiate addresses. As for it using the other IDE interface, that depends on how it is set up, where it lives in the IO space and such. My guess would be no, however. I hope NetBSD will start supporting Plug and Pray^H^H^Hlay soon. :) --Michael
