But first: SIMpad had only one PCMCIA 16-bit slot and no CARDBUS 32-bit slot. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Card So this should not be possible, (all USB-2.0 "PCMCIA" Cards are 32-bit Cardbus for my knowledge), sorry. Regards, mrdata |

Of course You're aware, what you'll have to write your own driver for win.ce and/or familiar/opie linux distro. But if you'll make a pcimcia 16-bit usb host with full usb stack what would be a great thing. I keep one's finger crossed. Good luck!
Btw. have you choose some devices? PCMCIA or usb chip? |

Hi,
maybe a ratoc usb 1.1 Host adaptor cf card will help you. With an cf to pcmcia card connector you can use it on 16 bit pcmcia bus. best regards mr nice |
