PCMCIA drivers

Howdy y'all,

Does anyone know why the ogo isn't a true PCMCIA-supported device?
I thought the idea of PCMCIA was to standardize PC card devices... in this
case the ogo; but this is not the case.

When I bought my ogo, I was pumped up with the idea of being able to
share some of my laptop's toys with the ogo, but this has proved
futile. :(
I have heard of only one pc-card modem that works with the ogo;
and that one (I can't remember the name of it) is almost impossible to
find due to the fact that it's basically an out-dated 14.4 !!!

Oh sure, you can buy a memory card, and a cell-modem card (see EXSPENSIVE)
but what about your every day, run-of-the-mill modem or maybe ethernet
card. Wouldn't a sound card be nice?

Would it be too much to ask for HP to created a driver that would
handle these devices? Think of the potential this little guy has if it
wasn't for shortcuts!
