Hello Kurt and Marc,

Thanks for the quick reply.

The dual port RAM interface is equal for PCI & PCMCIA devices.
The PCMCIA driver (softing_cs.ko) only provides a platform device with the dual port RAM
interface. And the real driver (softing.ko) uses this.
I designed the PCMCIA driver this way to allow for share code
with PCI cards. But I never got to writing the PCI driver
itself since I don't need it.

Adding the PCI driver should not be too hard.
This should be possible without touching existing code.
I may able to assist you with this.
I'm not a kernel hacker. But it would be fun to try. I will try to learn 
a bit about kernel module programming. If I see any chance to succeed, I 
will gladly come back on your offer for some assistance!
