I82365(3) Library Functions Manual I82365(3)NAME
i82365 - Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Association (PCMCIA) device
SYNOPSIS
bind -a #y /dev
/dev/pcm0attr
/dev/pcm0ctl
/dev/pcm0mem
/dev/pcm1attr
/dev/pcm1ctl
/dev/pcm1mem
DESCRIPTION
The i82365 driver provides an interface to an Intel 82365-compatible PCMCIA interface chip. This chip supports up to 2 PCMCIA slots, 0 and
1. Reading pcm[01]attr returns the contents of attribute memory. Reading or writing pcm[01]mem reads or writes RAM on the card. Reading
pcm[01]ctl returns the card's status.
This driver must be included to use PCMCIA devices such as the NE4100 Ethernet card. The individual card drivers make calls to routines in
the PCMCIA driver.
SOURCE
/sys/src/9/pc/devi82365.c
SEE ALSO plan9.ini(8)BUGS
There is no driver for the Databook PCMCIA interface chip.
The PCMCIA section of the system is new and less reliable than other pieces of the system. Also, its coverage of devices is spotty.

DUMMY_CS(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual DUMMY_CS(4)NAME
dummy_cs - PCMCIA dummy device driver
SYNOPSIS
insmod dummy_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [free_ports=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]
DESCRIPTION
The dummy_cs module has two purposes. It is intended as a demonstration of how to write the PCMCIA interface code for a client driver, and
the source code is heavily commented. It is also written to function as a sort of generic ``point enabler'': when bound to any PCMCIA IO
card, it will read the card's Configuration Information Structure, and configure the card appropriately. The configuration includes set-
ting up IO and memory windows, configuring the card for interrupts, and initializing the card's PCMCIA configuration registers.
It turns out that many cards report incomplete or inaccurate configuration information, due to vendor carelessness and the complexity of
the data format. A vendor driver can generally take for granted many configuration details, so there is not much incentive for vendors to
ensure that the on-card information is complete. Thus, the dummy_cs module is limited by its generality: since it makes no assumptions
about card types, it is forced to rely on the card information, for better or worse.
PARAMETERS
pc_debug=n
Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero
value enables debugging.
free_ports=n
A flag indicating if the IO ports allocated for the card should be freed from the kernel resource maps. This is useful if the dummy
driver is being used to configure a card in preparation for loading a specific PCMCIA-unaware driver. The default is 0 (false).
irq_list=i,j,...
Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.

Hi all,
I've been using linux/unix now only for a couple of months and was doing ok until about 30 minutes ago...
I needed to reboot into my windows 2000 partition, so, in a terminal I typed:
