Toshiba ToPIC95B not working on 6.0-BETA4

[Niels Heinen]

Hi Tijl,

Thanks for your info.

AFAIK the OLDCARD stuff has been removed so using card and pcic
are not an option.

Everything looks to be working correctly until I put a card in
the pcmcia slot.

I bet someone on this list should be able to get this nice piece
of old hardware working ;-)
