Here are the main differences: (1) the PCMCIA card uses memory mapped IO in contrast to the PCI/ISA drivers (2) the PCMCIA card does not do DMA [at least not on my computer] so there is an extra part in the driver for doing PIO. I also experienced some difficulties with a few other parts of the PCI/ISA driver code and this PCMCIA board. The microcode can be shared in any case. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
