Yep, that's what I ended up doing & I haven't had any problems.

Keeping the dual-port memory and registers outside the system

module is handy if your host-side software needs to synchronize

Let me know how it works out for you ... we will have our first

spin PCMCIA hardware back in about a week ... but we were

planning on just the 16-bit PC Card implementation.
