25.Dt PCIC 4
26.Os
27.Sh NAME
28.Nm pcic
29.Nd PC Card bridge driver
30.Sh SYNOPSIS
31.Cd device pcic
32.Cd device pccard
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34The
35.Nm
36driver provides support for older ISA and non-Yenta PCI PC Card bridges.
37The
38.Nm
39driver supports most
40.Tn ExCA
41devices attached to the
42.Tn ISA
43bus or
44.Tn PCI
45devices that do not conform to the Yenta specification.
46.Pp
47The following
48.Tn ISA
49devices, or true clones, are supported in the current code.
50.Pp
51.Bl -tag -width "Intel i82365SL Step A" -compact
52.It Intel i82365SL Step A
53.It Intel i82365SL Step B
54.It Intel i82365SL Step C
55.Tn Intel Ns 's
56original 16-bit PC Card controller.
57.It Intel i82365SL-DF
58.Tn Intel Ns 's
59last version of this device.
603.3V support was added.
61.It VLSI 82C146
62An older VLSI part with some issues on some machines.
63.It Cirrus Logic PD-6710
64.It Cirrus Logic PD-6720
65.It Cirrus Logic PD-6722
66Cirrus Logic's pcic controller.
67Compatible with the i82365SL Step C with the addition of a different
683.3V control.
69.It Ricoh RF5C296
70.It Ricoh RF5C396
71Ricoh's PC Card bridge chips.
72These are compatible with the i82365SL Step C, but with yet another
73different 3.3V control.
74.It Vadem 365
75.It Vadem 465
76Compatible with i82365SL Step C.
77.It Vadem 468
78.It Vadem 469
79Like the earlier Vadem models, but with Vadem's own, incompatible, 3.3V
80control system.
81.It IBM PCIC
82.Tn IBM
83clone of the original i82365SL part, with its own ID register value.
84Has no 3.3V ability.
85.El
86.Pp
87Many other vendors made parts in this arena, but most of them were
88compatible with one of the above chipsets.
89.Pp
90The following PCI pcmcia bridges are supported:
