Here, here. I was actually thinking of getting the serial option for my Noika
5190 and using it with Virtual PC, but on a 2300 I can't imagine how slow it
would run, particularly running a web browser (but then I could use IE which we
all know is optimized to run with Windows anyway, so who knows!). Ironically,
it is the only digital option with my G3 Firewire PB too, but since there are
no serial ports, I'd have to bring along my USB to serial adapter as well
(might as well have my bag full of Duo goodies!). The PCMCIA card does not have
Mac Drivers, so I'd have to get a third party solution which is Analog only
(and I'm not sure it's supported by my wireless carrier). Actually, that's the
problem with most of the cellular phone accessories, they have PCMCIA & IR, but
no Mac drivers.
