Screenshot of the Psion 'C' Software Development Kit Volume 1. Certain manufacturers of hand-held computers have recently been vigorously promoting the so-called PCMCIA standard for plug-in cards for portable computers. The idea is that PCMCIA cards that can plug into one hand-held computer ought to be able to plug just as easily into another. However, the SSDs used in SIBO computers do not conform to this standard. This fact may be seen as a potential problem - possibly as a disincentive against taking the time to learn how to program within the Sibosdk system. More precisely, it may be seen as a reason why the SIBO range of computers might enjoy but a limited lifetime in the marketplace, before being eclipsed by other, PCMCIA-based portable computers - in which case, studying the Sibosdk system in any detail would be a poor investment. This chapter aims to answer these worries by dispelling the hype around PCMCIA, through documenting some of the considerable benefits of SSDs as compared to PCMCIA cards.
Screenshot of a page of a SIBO 'C' development manual from 1990 ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION It seems more than likely that the Psion Serial Protocol will also become a de-facto industry standard, alongside the PCMCIA standard. Just as various different computers, from a variety of manufacturers, currently contain PCMCIA card slots, so too will SSDs become incorporated in an ever wider range of computers and computer peripherals. (But it should be borne in mind that there are already not one but three different PCMCIA standards, whereas there is only one Psion Serial Protocol standard.)
