<p>A selective call messaging peripheral (100) capable of receiving at least one message and communicating it to an electronic information processing device (200). The peripheral (100) comprises a microcontroller (105) including a processor (106) for executing a microcode program that controls operation of the peripheral and a receiver (103) that operates to receive and demodulate an information signal to provide a recovered information signal including an address signal and the message. A correlator (109) compares the recovered address signal with a predetermined address associated with the peripheral and generates an address detection when the recovered and predetermined addresses are substantially equivalent, indicating selection of the peripheral. A PCMCIA memory only interface (119) communicates notification of address detection to the electronic information processing device (200), and in response to a message read command received from the electronic information processing device (200), the microcontroller (105) configures the PCMCIA interface (119) to permit the electronic information processing device (200) to read the message from the peripheral (100).</p> |
