Did the A22M have a pccard slot or just pcmcia slot?

Andy:
What's the difference?
It's listed in the Hardware Manager as a Card Bus.
It uses a TI chip as the controller. Does that help?

PCCard is 32 bit and pcmcia is 16 bit (AIUI).  The difference we care about though is that genmac will not work with pcmcia, only pccard.

And Thomas, this is specifically because PCMCIA does *not* link itself to the PCI bus, but rather the ISA bus. GenMAC only supports devices attached to the PCI bus. CardBus is a 32-bit extension to the PCI bus (which is a 32 & 64-bit bus by design, vs ISA, which is 8 & 16-bit).

Lewis:
It is a Card Bus and it is recognized by the Hardware Manager.
I have the following:
   Card Bus Adapter 2
   Card Bus Adapter 5
   PCI_Bridge_2 to Card Bus
   PCI_Bridge_5 to Card Bus
   PCI_Bus 2
   PCI_Bus 5
The Upper slot is populated with the D-Link
And the Lower slot has an adapter with a CF Flash card in it.

Thomas
