Re: [NTLK] 2 slot PCMCIA eMate?

Nice Idea, but I really don't think it will work. The controler in the eMate
is only designed to have one card attached to it, and unless you want to do
some serious hardware hacking, if it's possible, it could get very
time-consuming.

If you want 2 PCMCIA slots and like th eMate form-factor you should maybe
look into hacking a 2x00 into the emate case.

Responding to Dan Fackler's comment:
||The eMate is a great piece of hardware-- but the single PCMCIA slot is
||somewhat limiting, especially for those of us who want more memory
||concurrent with E'net or WiFi...
||
||I have a couple of old IBM ThinkPads with 2-slot PCMCIA adapters. Since the
||1-slot eMate adapter is the same size, has anyone tried to transplant a
||2-slot adapter to the eMate board? Just a thought...
