How to Install serial PCMCIA card?

horizon_blue · 05-07-05, 12:30 PM

I want to install a serial PCMCIA card on a Dell Axim x50v running Microsoft® Windows MobileTM 2003 SE. This Sony / Etak GPS card works fine with Windows PC OSs, if I force it to be installed as a 'Serial PCMCIA Card'. I would like to know what I need to do (like registry changes) to make the Axim detect this card as a serial device and communicate at 4800 bps.

I would also like to know whether there is any freeware serial terminal application for Windows Mobile.

thanks

Windows Mobile 2003 comes with terminal software built in. I dunno about other versions. But anyway, you cannot use your card with the Axim. First off it will not have the drivers. Second it won't know what to do with it anyway, even if you have some form of drivers. The card is built for a PC, not a Pocket PC.
