>>[btw, why do they make internal devices show up on the pcmcia bus?]

because that's where they are?
i'm actually happier if they therefore use an existing interface.
the problem on the PC is working out where things are.
PCI looked as though it would solve that (eg, vendor id,device id,port numbers) but
then they added all that IRQ routing stuff.  perhaps next century.
