Ah. Warner would know more about these than I -- he went through quite a
bit of pain I believe to get them to work.
I believe some other vendors' bridges allow the ISA function interrupt to
be routed to a different IRQ than the card service interrupt, but have
never touched hardware with the O2Micro parts in.

The reason this is sometimes needed is that not all PCMCIA devices will
allow you to choose any available IRQ -- some of them will only support
a very limited subset of IRQs in their configuration tuples, and this
was the case with my smart card reader.

Yes, NEWCARD does not require pccardd.
