This review is from: NEW! Notebook 4 Port Ports 4Port USB 2.0 PCMCIA PC Card Bus Adapter Laptop/Notebook (Electronics)
I bought this card a few years ago. It was very easy to set up in Windows XP & worked flawlesly for about 2 years.
Recently I started losing ports, now, none are left so I'm back searching for another card. If you only plan to have your laptop for a few years. This card is a bargain & you'll be very happy with it. Some purchasing advice: 1. Most of these cards are a little large so if you're concerned with carrying your laptop in a case & want to have USB 2.0 available all the time buy a smaller card. 2. Many of these cards can't supply power on their own to a device, such as charging your cell phone while you sync it. So if need or want to connect devices that require power, be sure to get one that has a power connector (like this one). This is a short cable that plugs into a real USB powered port at one end & the card at the other to supply power to the card.

This review is from: NEW! Notebook 4 Port Ports 4Port USB 2.0 PCMCIA PC Card Bus Adapter Laptop/Notebook (Electronics)
I bought this to use a WD Passport USB 2.0 Drive with an old laptop which only had one USB 1.0. I bought this one since it had the ability to take the power from the USB 1 and use it to drive a USB 2.0 device. When I hooked it up I couldn't get the drive to be recognized. After talking to WD support they said it probably wasn't getting enough power to operate properly. Given this info, I connected an external 5.0 VDC supply to this card versus using the USB 1 power. It now works like a charm. The card was not the problem in this case, and because it enabled passing through 5VDC to the USB 2.0 devices I was able to make it work. My only suggestion is they should document the power of one USB 1.0 connector might not be sufficient to drive a USB 2.0 drive and sell or reference external supplies.

down side of this product (sort of) is that it takes one of the usb port to bring power to the pcmcia, it comes with a cable to do that. Other than that it works just great.
