The PCMCIA adapter that came with one of our 1gb IBM Mds seems to transfer at about 2/3rds the speed of a USB2 sandisk 6in1 reader, which is about twice the speed of the firewire form the S2. Using an Acer travelmate 803, centrino 1.5, running XPpro, 1gb ram. have only resorted to the pc card twice (left the lead for the reader at home).
A question for those who might know: has anyone tried downloading from more than one USB2 reader at once? My thinking is to run two or three, to dump files from more than one Mdrive... Any idea whether the controller for the USB2 ports will just divide it's potential between the various readers, defeating the object of having multiple readers...? Richard Wills Afternoon, Does anyone have experience with the PCMCIA adapters for dumping the contents of Compact Flash cards to a laptop on-site? Are they reliable? How are the transfer speeds? OS support XP / OS X?
