Yes! Hummm, you're probably right. Let me see if I got it right. You then mean that USB2 standard max voltage is higher than the PCMCIA can provide? > Nitpicking: Note that both USB2 and PCMCIA are specified with a max of > 500mA @5V, so a PCMCIA/USB2 card cannot exist by specification. >From what you write it seems they both specify [EMAIL PROTECTED], so if the specs are the same, why can't a PCMCIA/USB2 exist? I would be grateful is you do clear me up these details so I can think about what to do next.
