How to add a new Mesa card to pncconf?

Otherwise, the config generation works fine using other cards as a base and searching/replacing.

I added an option to pncconf on the start page 'use INI substitution' then the HAL file will use [HMOT]CARD0 all over the place instead of the actual card name. The INI file of course will have this heading allowing you to easily change the name for different cards.

I don't like it but it may be handy for some people.

Chris, Is that a recent addition?

Very interesting and useful example, thanks! I'll have to wrap my head around pncconf a bit more before I understand the feasibility of the change you propose (and of course defer to cmorely), but it certainly makes sense.

Yes - yesterday I added it.

OK, I will need to add that into the PlasmaC Configurator.

So the section name is [HMOT], what are the variable names.

Oh ? why? it's certainly something you can't rely on, it's optional.

The title heading is [HMOT] and the entries would look like this:
CARD0=hm2_7i80.0
CARD1=hm2_5i20.0

No, I won't, I am not thinking straight...
