27.Dt PCIC 4
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm pcic
31.Nd PC Card bridge driver
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Cd device pcic
34.Cd device pccard
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver provides support for older ISA and non-Yenta PCI PC Card bridges.
39The
40.Nm
41driver supports most
42.Tn ExCA
43devices attached to the
44.Tn ISA
45bus or
46.Tn PCI
47devices that do not conform to the Yenta specification.
48.Pp
49The following
50.Tn ISA
51devices, or true clones, are supported in the current code.
52.Pp
53.Bl -tag -width "Intel i82365SL Step A" -compact
54.It Intel i82365SL Step A
55.It Intel i82365SL Step B
56.It Intel i82365SL Step C
57.Tn Intel Ns 's
58original 16-bit PC Card controller.
59.It Intel i82365SL-DF
60.Tn Intel Ns 's
61last version of this device.
623.3V support was added.
63.It VLSI 82C146
64An older VLSI part with some issues on some machines.
65.It Cirrus Logic PD-6710
66.It Cirrus Logic PD-6720
67.It Cirrus Logic PD-6722
68Cirrus Logic's pcic controller.
69Compatible with the i82365SL Step C with the addition of a different
703.3V control.
71.It Ricoh RF5C296
72.It Ricoh RF5C396
73Ricoh's PC Card bridge chips.
74These are compatible with the i82365SL Step C, but with yet another
75different 3.3V control.
76.It Vadem 365
77.It Vadem 465
78Compatible with i82365SL Step C.
79.It Vadem 468
80.It Vadem 469
81Like the earlier Vadem models, but with Vadem's own, incompatible, 3.3V
82control system.
83.It IBM PCIC
84.Tn IBM
85clone of the original i82365SL part, with its own ID register value.
86Has no 3.3V ability.
87.El
88.Pp
89Many other vendors made parts in this arena, but most of them were
90compatible with one of the above chipsets.
91.Pp
92The following PCI pcmcia bridges are supported:
