JBell, in answer to your question, IIRC Express Card and PCIe are the same. You can read up on it at www.expresscard.org or at the PCI consortium. Express Card to PCCard (or PCMCIA if you prefer) adapters have been around for ~ 2 years at least. I googled and found this link: One source for Express Card to PCMCIA card adapters I looked into buying an adapter from NewEgg when I received my Dell a year ago. Didn't bother. Other neat hardware out there is express card to PCIe cages from Magma. |

I picked up my Express Card to Cardbus adapter Friday. PC Express Card to Cardbus Adapter It installs easily, and supposedly the CP5511 card I have installs properly too. Simatic Net does not recognize the CP5511 when it installs in this adapter. If I go to device manager, it says error code 12 has occurred - not enough system resources available to this device. The memory that the card tries to allocate is already taken. I tried manually configuring the resources for the card, but the only memory choices offered to me were already taken. I called their tech support - they say this is a known problem - OK, no solution there. I looked at the C5511W2K.inf file for loading the system driver for the card. I noted the memory allocation for each of the manual override possibilities are all similar. So I'll try tweaking that when I'm on a plane later this week and see what I get. If anyone knows about the driver loading of the CP card, must I restrict the MemConfig values to the override possibilities given in the INF file, or are there other areas I can use? |
