What about PCMCIA? I think I heard something on the list about
PCMCIA radio cards. Pin 62 of the PC Card spec is some kind of speaker
line (http://www.pcmcia.org/pccardstandard.htm#2), which runs "binary
audio data" (whatever that is - sample rate?). I wonder if you could
wire a radio directly to that, and still use the slot for something
else?
