If you're not planning to make several of these devices, you might be able to
save yourself some time and money by buying a PCMCIA to RS-232 converter.  Then
you can just concentrate on the serial portion of things.

Socket makes several of these devices.  Here's a link to the one that does what
I think you need.

I didn't check, but you'll probably find them cheaper at Amazon or Buy.com.

Subject: [PIC:] PCMCIA peripheral


Hi

I want to make a PCMCIA card that will sample values/capture serial data for my
pocket pc.

I am having a huge problem getting information on the PCMCIA interface and
communication specs, the book everyone recommends "Inside PC Card" I am un able
to get hold off because its out of print, and the only copy our uni library had
has gone missing!  (to someone in our department!)

What I was wondering is does anyone have another other suggestions on good
sources of information (free! 0 budget for this).

Someone must of done this before with a PIC, can they give me some pointers
please ;)

Thanks

Alex
