subject: PCMCIa cards needed

I have a need for a couple of oddball PCMCIA cards. and I'm hoping
someone here can point me at ones that fit the bill.

I need an ethernet card that is NE2000 compatible *or* has drivers for
Win CE 2.x.

I also need a 802.11b wireless card that's got Win CE 2.x drivers.

I know that the ethernet cards exist. They are just hard to track down.
the wireless cards are a "maybe" situation. Web searches turn up some
possibles, but nothing definite enough for me to want to spend money
without more info.

As for why I need them, I've got a handheld computer (Philips Velo 1)
with a PCMCIA adapter. It runs Win CE 2.1. Which has built in support
for NE2000 compatible ethernet cards.

A blind friend has a BrailleNote, which runs Win CE 2.1 or 2.2 (I
forget which). It has a PCMCIA slot. 

We'd both prefer to run ActiveSynch (and web browsing and a host of
other things) over ethernet rather than a serial cable. Being able to
use a wireless card would be a bonus.

Oh yeah, if any of you has one of the (rather ancient) PCMCIA VGA
cards, I'd be interested in buying or at least *borrowing* it, as in
theory my handheld will work with one. We'd also love to see if the
Braillenote would work with it (that would be truly weird)
