PCMCIA is NOT a bus system… it's a memory mapping system. If you want to map a bus into memory it can do that (as an example an AT/IDE drive or just plain memory). PCMCIA was not even concieved for such applications as it's used for today (somewhat like SCSI which was developed for tape drives only). Sorry to burst that bubble :-). SEan. p.s. don't mind me I'm a little off centre today :-).

Re: PCMCIA is not a bus I know, I was just using Zorro II as a comparison to PCMCIA in terms of speed. (3.5 Mb per sec.)

Sean, even SCSI is considered to be a bus. -Chris
