NAME
     pcic - Intel i82365SL PC Card Interface Controller

DESCRIPTION
     The Intel i82365SL PC Card interface controller provides one
     or more PCMCIA PC card sockets. The pcic driver implements a
     PCMCIA bus nexus driver.


     The driver provides basic support for the Intel 82365SL  and
     compatible chips. Tested chips are:

         o    Intel - 82365SL.

         o    Cirrus Logic - PD6710/PD6720/PD6722.

         o    Vadem - VG365/VG465/VG468/VG469.

         o    Toshiba - PCIC and ToPIC

         o    Ricoh                                             -
              RF5C366/RL5C466/RL5C475/RL5C476/RL5C477/RL5C478.

         o    02Micro - OZ6912/6972.

         o    Texas                 Instruments                 -
              PCI1130/PCI1131/PCI1031/PCI1221/PCI1225/PCI1520/PCI
              1410/PCI1420/PCI4520/PCI7510/PCI7621.


     While most systems using one of the above chips  will  work,
     some  systems  are  not  supported  due  to hardware designs
     options that may not be software detectable.


     Direct access to the PCMCIA hardware is not  supported.  All
     device access must be through the DI.

CONFIGURATION
     Configuration of PC Card interface controllers are automati-
     cally  done  in the system by leveraging ACPI on x86 (or OBP
     on  SPARC).  Configuration  includes  allocation  of  device
     memory, I/O ports, CardBus subordinary bus number and inter-
     rupts. There is  no       user-interference  required.  Note
     that the controller may not work when ACPI is disabled.


     There is one driver configuration property  defined  in  the
     pcic.conf file:

     interrupt-priorities=6;    This   property must  be  defined
                                and  must  be  below 10.
