Does anyone know if thiss driver will work with the 563D combo
card?

I just installed Unix using a 589 driver with a 563 card, and only
had to /etc/pccard.conf to associate the driver with the ID the
card returns. Can I do something similar with Plan9?

Also, Libretto requires 64K left unused at the end of the disk,
which the BIOS uses for saving memory contents when it hibernates.
This is normally handled by just leaving a 64K gap after the
last fdisk partition. As Plan9's PC disk driver uses the space
after the partition table, is there a way to tell it to stop
before the end of the physical disk?
