DuelAdapter PCMCIA to ExpressCard Adapter – Part II
Ξ May 11th, 2007 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Geek, Wireless |
This DuelAdapter PCMCIA to ExpressCard adapter is not working with my HP notebook and 32-bit PCMCIA cards. The Windows XP SP2 system event log entry is “The device “Generic CardBus Controller” has detected a CardBus card in its slot, but the firmware on this system is not configured to allow the CardBus controller to be run in CardBus mode. The operating system will currently accept only 16-bit (R2) pc-cards on this controller.”
Per duel-systemsadapters.com support: “This is a known firmware issue with HP/Compaq notebooks. We are in the process of getting this issue resolved as soon as we can. When a solution is available you will be able to get information on it from the http://duel-systemsadapters.com/ web site.”
I have successfully tested older 16-bit PCMCIA cards: Dell TrueMobile 1150, Orinoco Gold, Cisco 340, Linksys Ethernet. But my 32-bit cards are not recognized by the system. Time to call HP and see whats up. Stay tuned.
