A couple of things to note regarding express card adapters. Before buying either check the netbook you are looking at to see if it has the express card 34 or 54 size slots. If like my Lenovo S10 you find the slot is a 34 you will need this style: http://cgi.ebay.com/ExpressCard-34-54-Adapter-for-CF-CompactFlash-Type-I-II_ W0QQitemZ400051201778 Also I am not sure if these cards access the PCIe or the USB 2 interface of the express card slot. I would suspect that they may be USB based but couldn't find a definitive answer on a quick Google search.

However, it's just as well. Those built-in slots are likely only connected to a USB port. For very little money you can buy a CF to Expresscard adapter (like this one) that will run faster than USB 2.0. http://cgi.ebay.com/Compact-Flash-CF-to-ExpressCard-54-Card-Reader-Adapter_W 0QQitemZ220430389660QQihZ012QQcategoryZ41993QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZVie wItem I have one of these. Not precision made but it works fine. Maybe the Delkin name brand one would be better built <http://cgi.ebay.com/Delkin-Devices-DDEXP54-CF-2-ExpressCard-54-CompactFlash _W0QQitemZ150349785465QQihZ005QQcategoryZ101265QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZ ViewItem> Chuck Norcutt -- _________________________________________________________________ Options: http://lists.thomasclausen.net/mailman/listinfo/olympus Archives: http://lists.thomasclausen.net/mailman/private/olympus/ Themed Olympus Photo Exhibition: http://www.tope.nl/ |
