According to Ogrady's Powerpage (http://ogrady.org), Apple has posted developer
tech notes on the iBook's hardware for the sake of hardware and software
developers.  This is quite unexpected i think.  Available in HTML and PDF.

Not a big surprise. There are a lot of similarities between an ATA and a
16 bits PCCard bus. And I beleive they have a dbdma channel just behind
it, so basically, this stuff might work a lot like a good old ISA
ethernet chip ;)

	What is most interesting is that the AirPort is on the ATA bus that
the CDROM sits on.  Some neat 3rd party expansion options come to mind. :)
