Hello,

Many manufacturers make USB CardBus adapters. Here are a few I was able to find:

Belkin - Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Notebook Card
Dynex - Dynex 2-Port USB 2.0 PCMCIA Notebook Card
IOGear - Hi-Speed USB 2.0 CardBus
Micro Innovations - 2-Port Hi-Speed USB Cardbus USB740R
PPA Int'l - 4 port USB 2.0 PCMCIA Cardbus
Rosewill - RC-601
Syba - PCMCIA USB 2.0 2x
TrendNet - 2-Port USB PC Card TU2-H2PC (Version v1.1R)
Zonet - 2-Port USB 2.0 CardBus

One thing to keep in mind is that these are all 32-bit CardBus adapters and will not work in a 16-bit PCMCIA slot. Generally speaking, though, most notebook computers manufactured in the last ten years or so should have CardBus slots, though.

It requires Type II, 32-bit Cardbus slot.
Your slot might be an express slot.
If so, this is the device you need.

The silver part goes into your Express Card slot and your older 16 or 32 bit card slides into the black part.
Scroll down to see another image with an older card in the black part of the adapter.

Hello,

It looks like I misunderstood your question. Fortunately, ZLim did not.

I would suggest investigating the CyberGuys offering to see if it meets your needs.
