Does anyone know of any PCMCIA serial I/O cards that
would be compatible with OF for use as the OF and/or
XMON/Linux consoles? This would be for the PB2000.
I ran across a site a with links to PCMCIA cards with
Mac support. It had a link to www.socketcom.com, which
a local store stocks, but the socketcom site did not
have word-one about Mac support. Their serial cards are
16550 based, any hope that OF would support it or at
least enable the interface so XMON and the kernel
could use the port at boot?
There's also a telnet package in OF, what's that about?
Is it possible to telnet into OF?
Thanks,
Henry

IMHO Mac support does include a Mac driver sitting in your extensions
folder, so far not really interesting.
you went through OF ?

ata2 /bandit/ti1130@13

[the ata2/3 alias works good for MacOS booting from my 2.5" pcmcia
enclosure HD; did not try it with Linux, 'cause I did not manage to
mount it from my Linuxbox with the pcmcia-cs ide_cs.o and ide.conf,
and therefore could not install Linux partitions on that HD]

don't know what your input/output defaults are [type 'printenv']
but if I remember correctly you can change it for example with
