    Yes, there are PCI-to-PCMCIA adapter cards, but I dont know if they work in our Peggys.


    I would guess not.

    PCMCIA is like ISA with hotplug detection and identification strings. Something needs to monitor the port for a card to be inserted, then setup IRQ, IO and DMA ranges. Simply putting a PCMCIA card into a PCI adapter won't produce a PCI device.

    Cardbus is different, however, and might work. Depends on how MorphOS' PCI enumeration works. I've never seen a cardbus prism2 card. I have about 60 wireless cards around my house and I know for a fact that I don't have one.

    Furthermore, there are two types of adapter available for PCMCIA cards: The type that provides a real PCMCIA slot with PCMCIA controller, and a PLX9xxx-base adapter, which only works with prism2/orinoco/hermes cards, and most likely won't work with the prism2 driver.
