[ECOS] PC Card Specification 2.01 - (off topic)

[Trenton D. Adams]

Does anyone know where I can find the PC Card Specifications for PCMCIA
2.01?

I've searched the net to no avail.

That's completely pathetic.  All standards should be free.

Even the C and C++ standards aren't free. Who pays for them to get written
then? How does ISO get funded?

I suppose, but then people that are doing a single project can't afford
to do the project because they can't afford the information to complete
it.

What exactly are you trying to do? It is quite possible to design a PCMCIA 
system (hardware and software) without the official specification 
documents; there is a lot of information implicitly buried in chip 
datasheets and other sources.

BTW, if you are working with any but a controlled set of PCMCIA devices, I 
suggest that eCos might not be the correct OS for this application; it's 
easier to ride the free (and ongoingly-updated) PCMCIA support in Linux. 
This comment does not apply if you intend only to support generic devices 
like modems and PCMCIA-ATA storage devices, or if you intend to support 
only one or two specific cards for which you will write drivers.

eCos is definitely the way to go.  We are creating a product based off
of the EDB7111-2 board.  It's a one time thing requiring PCMCIA support.

Look at http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html . At the bottom it talks
about David Airlie's FTP tarballs.
