28.Dt PCIC 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm pcic
32.Nd PC Card bridge driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd device pcic
35.Cd device pccard
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides support for older ISA and non-Yenta PCI PC Card bridges.
40The
41.Nm
42driver supports most
43.Tn ExCA
44devices attached to the
45.Tn ISA
46bus or
47.Tn PCI
48devices that do not conform to the Yenta specification.
49.Pp
50The following
51.Tn ISA
52devices, or true clones, are supported in the current code.
53.Pp
54.Bl -tag -width "Intel i82365SL Step A" -compact
55.It Intel i82365SL Step A
56.It Intel i82365SL Step B
57.It Intel i82365SL Step C
58.Tn Intel Ns 's
59original 16-bit PC Card controller.
60.It Intel i82365SL-DF
61.Tn Intel Ns 's
62last version of this device.
633.3V support was added.
64.It VLSI 82C146
65An older VLSI part with some issues on some machines.
66.It Cirrus Logic PD-6710
67.It Cirrus Logic PD-6720
68.It Cirrus Logic PD-6722
69Cirrus Logic's pcic controller.
70Compatible with the i82365SL Step C with the addition of a different
713.3V control.
72.It Ricoh RF5C296
73.It Ricoh RF5C396
74Ricoh's PC Card bridge chips.
75These are compatible with the i82365SL Step C, but with yet another
76different 3.3V control.
77.It Vadem 365
78.It Vadem 465
79Compatible with i82365SL Step C.
80.It Vadem 468
81.It Vadem 469
82Like the earlier Vadem models, but with Vadem's own, incompatible, 3.3V
83control system.
84.It IBM PCIC
85.Tn IBM
86clone of the original i82365SL part, with its own ID register value.
87Has no 3.3V ability.
88.El
89.Pp
90Many other vendors made parts in this arena, but most of them were
91compatible with one of the above chipsets.
92.Pp
93The following PCI pcmcia bridges are supported:
