To answer the second question first, yes.

I was given the gift of the FIVA by the Japanese engineering division
of Caseo.  It was an old prototype.  It has a few issues, which is why
they wanted it in my testbed.

No.  I'm a gageteer :-).  I've been focused on other things, so I've
not been using my mobilepro as much lately.  Also, I need to hack the
NetBSD pccard stack to grok 3.3V cards on ISA-like bridges.
