I've been busy hacking SCSI stuff, and noticed Uwe has been committing some neat stuff, and then came by asking for SD cards with pictures on them. Hey look, neat stuff!
So, here are a couple of pictures, courtesy the minty new SD driver written by Uwe

Will this work with the builtin SD-card slot found in the IBM Thinkpad X40? I understand that many developers have this machine also, so someone probably already tested it... :)

that's what it was hacked on...

Yes, the sdhc(4) driver is for controllers following the SD Host Controller Standard Simplified Specification. I've seen a Dell laptop that has the same Ricoh PCI chip that Thinkpads have. There are at least three vendors who produce compliant hardware. If you have a PCI SD/MMC controller that shows up as "not configured" you might want to try -current.

Does this mean we can install OpenBSD on SD instead of just CF? I have a 23 in 1 USB 2.0 Card Reader/Writter, SD is just one of them that it supports. I'm currently working on a script that installs OpenBSD 3.9-stable on CF (similar to opensoekris, openflash, flashdist, etc.) on CF media, USB Flash, WRAP, Soekris, etc. I just have yet to try SD and xD if possible...
Is this only in -current?

AFAIK, there's no documentation for it, but I live in hope...

There is documentation for the important part - the host controller registers - in the PXA27x Processor Family Developer's Manual. It could happen soonish.

There are a number of us running OpenBSD on zaurus that would be very grateful for such support.
Say, is there anyone there are the hackathon with a zaurus they would be willing to loan you?
I'd happily volunteer mine (sl-3200/OpenBSD-current) but Calgary is too long a haul from
Tokyo for me to make this years hackathon in time!

... that it'll work with the sd card interface for TI's PCIxx21/x515 Chipset (found on Acer/Compaq notebooks)? There is a linux driver that works (http://www.webcon.ca/~imorgan/tifm21/) and specs/docs can be found on that website also.
Thanks.

According to http://mmc.drzeus.cx/wiki/Controllers/SDHCI TI controller follows the same specification as the Ricoh. I think it should be supported by the driver Uwe wrote. Give it a try and report your findings.
