NetBSD 1.6 has so far been able to identify most of the hardware inside
it, with the exception of the CardBus bridge (also used for PCMCIA). It
didn't assign an IRQ for it, probably because the BIOS provides no
information about it (not even on its own boot screen). I changed the
kernel a bit to assume IRQ 9 in this case but since I have no PCMCIA
or CardBus cards I cannot test it.

Having said this, the Visionaries that were on offer were a different
model every time, so your model no doubt differs in several aspects from
mine (a 1900+).
