Devices created when a SRAM PCMCIA is inserted:

/dev/dsk/c1t6d0s2
/dev/rdsk/c1t6d0s2

Which point to:

/devices/iommu at 0,1000000/sbus at 0,10001000/ts102 at 1,20000000/memory at 0/pcram at 6,0:c

This fits with the pcram(7D) manual page which says SRAM is on t6
(t for technology, not t for target).

The output from modinfo does not change when a PCMCIA card is inserted
(is this correct?), I get the following if I modinfo | grep -i pcmcia :

pcmcia (PCMCIA Nexus Support)
cs (PCMCIA Card Services)
cis (PCMCIA CIS Interpreter)
pcs (PCMCIA Socket Drivers)
pem (PCMCIA Event Manager)
pcata (PCMCIA ATA Disk Controller)
pcram (PCMCIA Memory Card Controller V2.0)
pcmem (PCMCIA Memory Nexus V2.0)

Wonder if the V2.0 is of any significance?
