Drivers for Symbol 802.11b CF card + PCMCIA adapter
« on: September 03, 2016, 05:11:09 PM »
I have a spare Symbol wifi CF card in use with an old Zaurus currently. Would this adapter in combo with a PCMCIA adapter even work on the Amiga (since it's only a 16 bit slot). If so, can somebody point me in the right direction for where to start e.g do I just drop a dos device and lib somewhere, and is there a hardware test I can run?
I understand if I got the hardware working I'd need to install a TCP stack.
Thanks!

Symbol cards use a different chip. They use a Symbol MAC chip.


That would explain why I'm seeing no life in the card. I don't suppose there's a symbol driver? I've had a quick look on Aminet for symbol and didn't see anything.
