I was planning to do it this Xmas .. but what with the"economy" I'm not sure it's the way to go any more..Or buy a USB 2 PCMCIA/Cardbus card?Any recommendations?
Not a recommendation but a comment as I did this.Be careful of the power requirement. I has a USB hard drive which needed 1 amp. I bought a Connectland 2 port USB 2 PCMCIA Card but it needed an external power supply to give more than 500mA. I bought one, doubling the cost.
Eventually I tripped over the power cord, pulling it out of the card, which seemed to damage the bus and I was never able to get the card to work after that. Even a replacement did not work.
YMMV, Tim
