Perfect for using your broadband card at home...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: StarTech.com CardBus/PCMCIA to PCI Adapter Card - PC card adapter - PCI ( PCI2PCMCIA1 ) (Personal Computers)
I purchased one of these from Amazon in order to be able to use my Sprint broadband internet card (Pantech) in my home computer. Installation was a snap and after installing the Sprint Software on my home system, the card came up just like it did on my laptop. (Just remember to load the software BEFORE you insert the card.) If you are looking for a inexpensive way to get a bit more use from your broadband internet card, you should definitely try one of these!

I got this thing so that I could use my Verizon internet card on my desk top, as I live in the boonies and we dont even have phone lines. I had a little trouble while first installing it, after putting it in the computer and turning the computer on I was getting the "beep code" turned it off then back on a couple times and it finally caught on. It didnt want to read the card that I put in it at first either. Had to shutdown and reboot yet again. But after that everything else seems to work fine. The other thing that you should probably know about this thing is that it forces you to put the card in upside down... nothing really wrong with that unless you have certain disorders. FYI, It kind of drives me nuts. But over all it seems to work well no problems since it was recognized properly. Enjoy

So far, I've been using it for a Wireless PCMCIA card in my desktop computer with no problems at all. Easy installation!
