[openbeos] Re: PCMCIA & Cardbus

Is that so?.. Well.. I've actually got a cardbus card.. just ran the 
PCMCIA wizard which didn't find the card, or said something bout not 
supporting that type of card.. I know the non-cardbas variant of the 
very same card is supported.. so.. 

Het.. I've got a texas instrument controller!

Do I have to config it to emulate 16bit somewhere?
And do I have to get bone or something?.. Cause I'm running a plain 
5.0.3

What cards you got?
