NAME
pcic —
PC Card bridge driver
SYNOPSIS
device pcic
device pccard
DESCRIPTION
Thepcic driver provides support for older ISA and
non-Yenta PCI PC Card bridges. The pcic driver
supports most ExCA devices attached to the ISA bus or PCI devices that do not
conform to the Yenta specification.
The following ISA devices, or true clones, are supported in the current code.
- Intel i82365SL Step A
- Intel i82365SL Step B
- Intel i82365SL Step C
- Intel's original 16-bit PC Card controller.
- Intel i82365SL-DF
- Intel's last version of this device. 3.3V support was added.
- VLSI 82C146
- An older VLSI part with some issues on some machines.
- Cirrus Logic PD-6710
- Cirrus Logic PD-6720
- Cirrus Logic PD-6722
- Cirrus Logic's pcic controller. Compatible with the i82365SL Step C with the addition of a different 3.3V control.
- Ricoh RF5C296
- Ricoh RF5C396
- Ricoh's PC Card bridge chips. These are compatible with the i82365SL Step C, but with yet another different 3.3V control.
- Vadem 365
- Vadem 465
- Compatible with i82365SL Step C.
- Vadem 468
- Vadem 469
- Like the earlier Vadem models, but with Vadem's own, incompatible, 3.3V control system.
- IBM PCIC
- IBM clone of the original i82365SL part, with its own ID register value. Has no 3.3V ability.
Many other vendors made parts in this arena, but most of them were compatible with one of the above chipsets.
The following PCI pcmcia bridges are supported:
- Cirrus Logic PD6729
- Cirrus Logic PD6730
- O2micro OZ6729
- O2micro OZ6730
