The worst part about all this is that notebook manufacturers
(last time I checked) didn't standardize which card goes where.
Some slot 0 is on top, some on bottom. And some desktop
adapter have more than 2 which breaks a ton of pcmcia cards.
This is against standards of course.

Actually, this doesn't sound like an existant chip. I think Randy meant a 16550,
which I believe was invented by National Semiconducter.
