PCMCIA question...
I just got thinking: Why do we have to load some silly driver(s)
just to make use of our PCMCIA slots? We don't have to do that for most
cards that get stuck in your desktop ISA/EISA/VLB/PCI slots! Why couldn't
PCMCIA be designed to be rather transparent (but functional) to the
operating system, just like a "normal" bus design such as the above?
Has anybody ever had to load a driver to make their internal
ISA modem work? I didn't think so. So why do we have to do so to make
a PCMCIA modem work?
