Hey all. I'm running DSL on a Libretto 110 CT which I don't really use much, so I thought it might be neat to use it as the brain for a robot. This means I'm going to need a PCMCIA to USB card that will work well with both the libretto and linux so I can plug in my Basic Stamp 2 board, and linux must be able to emulate serial through the USB port (Windows and Mac have handled this pretty well so far).
I'm a bit nervous though, since Linux often doesn't pick up that sort of hardware, and the Libretto itself is an old computer (1997 I think). Does anyone reliably use a PCMCIA to USB card with DSL, and if so what kind?
And should I even worry? I do have a wireless network PCMCIA adapter that DSL picks up just fine, but I don't want to buy a USB card based totally on experimentation.
