On Friday, I tried to get the NI PCMCIA card working on the Athlon64.
Misfortunately it wasn't even detected properly by the machine's PCMCIA
service and comedi drivers weren't loaded automatically. I had to learn
that this is not uncommon for that card and those notebooks I tried. Only
one notebook out of three worked until now - and that one had a pentium
IV.

Manually inserting modules and using comedi_config hasn't worked.

So I can't give an answer if the problem is with the processor or the bus
architecture ATM. But as soon as I come across an athlon64 pc or a
athlon64 notebook comes across me I'll give it another try.
