begin 666 ExpressCard Adaptor for PC Card Devices.txt
The ExpressCard webpage on PCMCIA.org's site indicates that an interface
adaptor is possible to run PC Card devices on new notebook computers
that only have an ExpressCard slot (see paragraph below).

"In the future, we may see adapters that allow the use of older PC Card
products on systems without a PC Card slot through both the ExpressCard
and USB interfaces."

Does such an interface adaptor exist from any manufacturer? I am trying
to use my Kyocera KPC650 Wireless Broadband PC Card on a Dell 6400
notebook (ExpressCard slot, but no PC Card slot). No wireless broadband
devices currently exist with the ExpressCard interface (at least not for
the Verizon network) and the scheduled release date is several months
away.

Thank you,

While searching for a portable PCMCIA->USB reader (see question posted
yesterday), I did wonder what the category 'Express-Card' meant....now I
know, thanx to you....)
