PCMCIA reader on my Desktop???

[tigerpilot]

I need a way to use a PCMCIA device on my desktop machine. I have seen adapters on ebay but they always use an ISA slot. My desktops only have PCI these days. Also I prefer to have something that will work with XP.
Thanks, Don

Well they definately make PCI-PCMCIA adapters.

I use the Actiontec PC750 on my PC.

Had problems at first with no "hot swapping." Only way it worked was to put card in and re-boot. Tech support sucked.

Finally figured out that the drivers 2K was installing (Texas Instruments PCI-1225 CardBus Controller) were wrong.

Changed drivers to "Generic Card Bus Controller" and it works fine now.
