Using a PCMCIA device on a desktop

DragonM15 · 12-05-2004, 11:54 PM

This isnt really a "linux" question, I just want to know if it is possible? I have a xircom pcmcia modem that I used to use in my laptop, but my laptop recently crapped out on me, and I want to know if it is at all possible to use that pcmcia modem in my desktop, because it is the only modem that I have found so far that works with any linux distro. Let me know what you think/know.

Uh.. There's like 100 modems that work with linux.

I don't know how you'd get the pcmcia modem to work with a desktop. Maybe some kind of adapter???

yea... there are 100's of modems, but every single one that I own, or get doesnt work... :S I am going to get one from a friend of mine a little bit later, and hope it works.. Do you know what it would convert from?? IDE, usb, serial???
