Re: CF 2-Way "Pager"?

If it's for the Handspring Visor, it's going to use the
Springboard slot, not CF. Springboard looks like PCMCIA
from a connector POV, but thats about it.

There *is* a fellow that has made a CF->Springboard
connector (to allow CF cards in a springboard slot) so
it may be possible to go the other way as well, to use
something like this in a CF device. You'd have to roll
your own drivers and code though.
