Hi, I'm wondering if anybody out there can help me.

I have a Pico Platinum FM560 PCMCIA Modem

I need to obtain a replacement adapter for plugging in the phone lead into the card.

However, I have been unable to find any contact details for Pico.

The modem is 2nd hand, so I don't have any packaging for it, nor access to the original retailer who sold the card.

I've heard a rumour that Pico have been bought out by another company.

Does anyone know if this is the case, and if so, who bought them ?

I am in United Kingdom, but if anyone even knows which company (if any) has bought them I'd be very grateful.

I've tried various combinations of their name as a web address:

pico.com, picotech.com, etc, etc, but no luck so far.

I've also searched on google for all of the numbers listed on the card.

Here's hoping someone out there knows something

Cheers

Simon

Sometimes buying a 'dongle' for a PCMCIA [or PCCARD] can be an expensive exercise.

Try buying a used card or a new one from a local PC Shop.

Thanks Brian,

I have since managed to hunt down the company that took over Pico.....

A New Dongle comes out at £45 (UKP)

A new PCMCIA modem comes at anywhere from £30 - £70+

I suspected that the lead was going to cost a fair bit as I've experienced this before. But it was for a client so I had to try and at least find out.
