I believe that the PB190 uses the same PCMCIA interface as the PB5300,
and the nubus-pmac group got a driver working there at one point. It
should be possible to get that running on m68k. The chip is apparently
called TREX if anyone wants to search for it. I recall that it controls
both PCMCIA and the media bay in those models, as well as the PB1400.
