Here's the scenario. I have a USB 2.0 hard drive connected to one of my linux machines. The one machine (AMD K6-2, runs linux) has USB 1.1 ports on it and File transfers are SLOOOOOOOOOOWWWW. It has PCMCIA slots so I was thinking of getting a USB 2.0 card for it. I'm not sure what the speed limits are for PCMCIA / Cardbus and what they rely on. I also have an older laptop (486, runs linux) which does not have any USB ports. I've thought about putting one in that too. A CF drive in the 486 hdparm's to 1.47 MB/sec. Suggestions?

Thanks.

This link should help you out. http://www.pcmcia.org/faq.htm
On the older laptop check to see if it 16bit pcmcia (I forget the exact name, I think they called it creditcard or something) or 32bit pcmcia pccard.

Perfect! Thank you. Don't know how I missed that one in Google. Duh!
