[Acoustics] pcmcia serial card adapters

[D. Phil Turnipseed]

Hey Keith,

Not sure if it will work with Rugged Notebook M220, but you might looke 
into using a Keyspan 230 Kbps USB adaptor which works well on a IBM 
Thinkpad with and RD Instruments RioGrande.  Their URL is: www.keyspan.com

[Acoustics] pcmcia serial card adapters






We recently purchased a new Rugged Notebook M220 to use with our Sontek 
Riversurveyor.  It has only one serial port which seems to be the trend 
these days.  We usually plug our GPS receiver into a second serial port to 
get more detailed data when working from a manned boat platform.  We would 
like to purchase a pcmcia serial card adapter for this laptop. 

I thought I'd try to take advantage of everyone's experience with these. 
With that in mind, can I get some recommendations on a reliable one?  What 
have been some pitfalls using these pcmcia cards?

Thanks,
