CF Wireless Card?

joshp · 04-06-2008, 02:14 PM

I have a cf wireless card that I brought for my zaurus. I used to have a cf to pcmcia card adaptor that allowed me to use it in my laptop. Since then I have brought a new laptop that only has a expresscard slot, and was wondering if there was a cf to express card adaptor, or a usb reader that could support the wireless card? In case any one was wondering the cf card is a Ambicom WL1100C-CF.

I hope this is the right forum.

I have never used ExpressCard to CF adapters, but I know they exist. I have used PCMCIA to CF adapters, and I can confirm that they will work with wireless CF cards; so I don't see why ExpressCard adapters wouldn't. It just so happens that I have an Ambicom CF card I bought for my Zaurus myself, so I had the same thing in mind for my laptop.

USB readers will not work however. They are setup only for storage devices, and don't support the extended functionality that more advanced CF cards rely on.
