pcmcia card converter

snedie · 09-24-2008, 10:59 AM

Now as an experienced technician this was a really stupid mistake, but I bought a wireless pcmcia card for my laptop, which does not have a pcmcia slot. Is there any sort of adapter, mayby USB>pcmcia.

This card was off ebay so I can't return it, :( It is an Orinico Gold Classic PCMCIA II card.

If you cannot return it, may be you can sell it again in eBay. It is much better than throwing it away.

About your question, try this link: http://www.quatech.com/catalog/drives_pcmcia.php

The link above is just a sample. I Googled for 'PCMCIA to USB' and found a lot of hits.

Ok thanks anyways, this card is not worth $230 so buying an adapter is not an option.

I guess it will be visiting the worl of ebay again.
