PCMIA memory cards?




Do you have any PCMIA memory cards, and/or an interface to such a thing?
I have tried almost everything I could to get this working (I'll attach a
mail message I sent out to the palmtop mailing list).  I'm thinking that if
I can get a PCMIA memory card with kermit or another communications software
on it, I may be able to diagnose my problem.  I'm on the verge of deciding that
my problem is a hardware problem.

Subject: help needed: LapLink Remote Access probs


I'm having problems with LapLink Remote Access that comes with my HP1000CX
and on the HP Connectivity Pack.

Here's what I've tried so far:

1) Booted into DOS 5.0 using a floppy on a PC.  From there, start up "llra
   /1" (the /1 is supposed to start on com1).  Start "llras" on the
   palmtop.  There are no beeps.  When I do "llra /m" on the PC, it says
   "LapLink Remote is not connected."
2) Booted into DOS 5.0 using a floppy.  Do "mode com1 9600,n,8,1".  Do
   "llra /1".  On the palmtop, I do "serctl /i", then "mode com1
   9600,n,8,1", and then "llras".  Again, when I do "llra /m" on the PC,
   it says "LapLink Remote is not connected."
3) Plugged the palmtop into the modem port on my Linux PC.  On the palmtop,
   I do "d:\bin\llra1 /u" to uninstall any TSRs or whatever.  Do "serctl /w",
   then "mode com1 9600,n,8,1" on the palmtop.  On Linux, I do
   "stty 9600 < /dev/modem" and "stty raw < /dev/modem", then do
   "cat /dev/modem".  On the palmtop, I do "copy con com1", type a bunch of
   stuff, followed by "^Z" followed by enter, and viola! the stuff I typed
   comes out on Linux.  Obviously output from the palmtop works.
4) However, if I instead try "serctl /i", then "mode com1 9600,n,8,1",
   then "copy com1 text.txt".  Then, on Linux, do
   "perl -pe 's,$,\r,;' /etc/passwd > /dev/modem" (the perl stuff is there
   to assure that there are ^M's at the end of each line in case that's an
   issue) repeatedly (to make sure there are no issues of buffering),
   "text.txt" never gets written to.  Even if I try "copy com1 con"
   instead, nothing ever comes out.  I've also tried exchanging cables (I
   happen to have two connection cables) and both exhibit the same
   behavior.

Anyone have any ideas about how to solve this problem?

If not, where might I go from here?

Thanks.
