    Question usb to PCMCIA



    hi, i got a pcmcia wireless network card at home that i want to connect to my pc, ive been having a look on ebay but all i can find are PCI adapters. is there a device that can connect to my pcmcia network card via usb instead of PCI, as i want it to be easily removable.

    cheers

    Re: usb to PCMCIA

    A very quick google seach came up with this

    ----www.roalan.com/USB%20to%20PCMCIA%20Adapter.htm---- (sorry - for some reason pasting the link didn't work...???)

    It looks as if it is designed for 3G/GPRS cards, but it might be worth contacting the company to see if they have anythin g suitable. Or a more extensive Google search may come up with something suitable.

    USB to PCMCIA Adapter as found by peterb

    (damned URL filter strikes again. How many posts have I made just fixing this for others??)

    you would probably be cheaper just getting a USB wireless dongle, they can be had for under £10.

    Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK

    Re: usb to PCMCIA

    thanks guys i think im just going to settle for the pci conversion, as the usb is too expensive for my liking lol

    the usb dongle isnt appropriate as i need this card for a specific function, but cheers anyway
