PDA/palmtop fans take note: someone's doing a PCMCIA equivalent of the PicoGUS/PicoIDE/PiSCSI/etc., a swiss army knife I/O device but specifically targeting low-power host devices like the HP 200LX, Newton, etc.

modern WiFi! Bluetooth! USB! sound! storage emulation! all the toys.

not sure how useful this will be for PowerBook people, but there were enough PCMCIA Ethernet cards that surely one of them was based on the NE2000 that PicoPCMCIA emulates?

🌘 PicoPCMCIA 開發板——讓復古筆電重獲新生的擴充方案
➤ 用一張擴充卡,喚醒沉睡的 PCMCIA 傳統設備
https://www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/
這是一篇關於 PicoPCMCIA 開發板的詳細介紹,專為喜愛在老式筆電與行動裝置上進行音效、網路與擴充實驗的復古運算愛好者打造。作者利用 RP2350 晶片,結合 ISA 類似的 PCMCIA 匯流排特性,讓這個專案能與其他基於 RP 的復古專案(如 PicoGUS 和 PicoMEM)共享程式碼,快速迭代功能。板子提供 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 無線模組、音效硬體(包含 TLV320AIC3254 與 SAM2695 合成器)、MPU-401 與 Sound Blaster 模擬、Gravis Ultrasound (GUS) 支援、CD-ROM 模擬及儲存模擬等豐富功能。專案完全開源,並提供預編譯韌體讓使用者無需深入技術細節即可測試功能,目標是供愛好者與開發使用,而非量產部署。

@aku bukan om, beda jauh LRP sama openwrt. Kalo openwrt dulu ya awalnya saya ingat buat ganti firmware wireless router/ap linksys.

Dulu linksys seri wireless nya WRT, makanya jadi openwrt.

Kalo LRP jauh sebelumnya, dia buat naikin wireless #PCMCIA card

Frankly, I miss PCMCIA, and ZIP drives. Computing that required putting chunky cards and cassettes and stuff into drives. Old 90s anime style computing.

I know some of you know exactly what I mean. Please send GIFs that fit that aesthetic, or pictures of your gear that fits the bill 💜

Thank you @SURF for hosting the ACCSS HFCSWG workshop. Or, in the spirit of #PCMCIA that is of course the @ACCSS human factors in cybersecurity working group workshop. Packed room full of both company representatives and people from (applied) universities.
@nazokiyoubinbou @nina_kali_nina well, #PCMCIA & #CardBus got siceeded by #ExpressCard, and I do think that is a good interface, espechally when done right!

awww, nostalgia hits so hard 🥰
#ISDN, #PCMCIA, #486er - ich hab direkt flashbacks 🙈 😅
