I was assuming the serial interface which is a fixed one breaking out of
the back of the Laptop had nothing to do with the PCMCIA, however I have
never investigated the internals of a laptop, or even given it much 
consideration. I can easily find the details of my video chipset and
UART if this information would be of help to anyone investigating this,
curently this is quite lowdown own list of things that need fixing/building
etc.
