Unreal! I loved my PC110 back in the day. In storage but need to get it backout on the desk. Even back then I was hoping some company would make a NON-cardbus PC Card. Had to stick with SCSI back then for then big data moves. But compact flash storage got pretty big with the Microdrives topping out a 6GB. But this... Just ... top notch.
In this video you describe connection of USB flash memory stick to IBM PC-110 laptop via PCMCIA using CH375 module and some PCMCIA adapter card, but can you please explain in more details how to do this under MS-DOS using 16 bit PCMCIA slot and where to get this PCMCIA adapter card?
The adapter itself does not exist, this was a prototype I had made, I did not proceed much further as I was unsure the usefulness of this. In terms of software, it is mainly the CH375.SYS that is distributed with the ISA variant, and I wrote a small point enabler to enable the pcmcia socket to the expected I/O Port.
@@yyzkevin416 I can't agree about this adapter being useless, since there are plenty of PCMCIA enabled vintage computers that lack ISA slots, like HP 200LX for example. And in my opinion it will be very useful to add USB flash stick ability to them. I personally would be glad to have such an adapter, since otherwise I see no practical use of this remarkable CH375 USB host module.

As always Kevin, take my money!

Wowwowwow
do you have a design for PCMCIA to ISA breakout card?
well it would depend what type of cards you were planning to use, as off the top there is no DMA until you get into later stuff/cardbus etc
