The pcic 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

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.
