manassas Posts: 51 Rating: (0)	Hello, I have a Laptop Express Card slot on it instead of PCMCIA card slot. Accordingto sales person this is a new technology. So there is no PCMCIA card slot on my laptop but ExpressCard Slot. My question; Is there any CP5512 profibus programming card or any solution that I can use my ExpressCard Slot with. Thanks in advance.

There it is written that only all 16 PC Cards are supported, but the 32 Bit Cardbus Cards are still under development, see for yourself: "This can be any standard or custom 16-bit PCMCIA card (Type I, II, or III). ARS Technologies is still developing support for 32-bit PCMCIA cards. If you’d like to know when 32-bit support is available, please join the ARS Technologies product update list." Just for your information the CP 5512 is a Cardbus Adaptor.... only a CP 5511 is a PCMCIA Card (16 Bit). Best regards Calm_down

And the lucky owners of an CP5511 can use the device again. I asked Siemens about their knowledge and experienceof these converters, but they haven't any. And what I heard it isn't tested as well. Anyway thanks for completing the news.

That means the guest operating system can 'take control' of a USB device and this device is than not visible on the host operating system anymore! (It works fine with a USB to Ethernet adapter). I was thinking to get an USB to PCMCIA adapter but I'm not sure if that would work! does anyone has any experience with this? Thanks Michael

saeed Posts: 115 Rating: (1)	Dear Michaelk, If your operating system recognize the USB-PCMCIA adapter ,in my mind it should work and you can use CP5512. Saeed

JustMe Posts: 7 Rating: (2)	Hi there! USB can do the job but as far as I know, you cannot connect to PROFIBUS slaves! As we all know the 5512 is the perfect card to programm with. I have found a simple solution: http://www.duel-systems.com/products/adapters.aspx It works fine, not very expensive!!! use it! Not plug & pray, it really works
