I got one for Christmas, and my cousins got walkie-talkies. I remember building I assume the crystal radio circuit, and I could hear their chatter on the walkie-talkie, felt like a spy.

One thing led to another, and now there is a NAT router / web server onboard the PicoPCMCIA.

Very cool how is it! I have been thinking to get one. My first "blackberry" was this form factor and I wish I could emulate the network so I could use it π

A PCMCIA card with a label saying "YYZ Credit Card Adapter for Everything" in the style of the PCMCIA cards that IBM made back in the 90s. A small wifi antenna, SD card slot, and dongle connector are on the card's edge.
Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? @yyzkevin.com's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/

#PicoGUS is now an ODE! I've just released firmware v3.0.0, which adds Panasonic CD-ROM drive emulation. Put some ISOs or BIN/CUE files on a USB stick, plug it into your PicoGUS, and you've got a virtual CD-ROM drive that works in DOS and Windows 9x and supports CD audio. github.com/polpo/picogu...

Casio camera watch I got in Japan some 25 years ago. I found the watch a few years ago in a bin and downloaded this picture over Infrared.
