PCI Bus to PC Card and CardBus Read-Writer Internal Front R5C843/R5C847
Introducing a breakthrough PC Card adapter! Short trace length requirements between card slots and controllers have always forced backplane placement for 32-bit PCMCIA PC CardBus readers. The PC1IF32 takes an all new approach. Instead of locating the controller on the PCI card's PCB, it places it in the 3.5" drive bay enclosure. For the first time, a front loading reader can accept 32-bit PCMCIA PC CardBus cards!
Utilizing the highly compatible Ricoh R5C843/R5C847 chipset, the reader requires no special drivers--it uses XP/Vista's built in support. It also avoids the confusing and frustrating process of manually trying to force low order unshared IRQs often encountered with many card readers in its class. Simply plug into an empty PCI slot, boot, and Windows XP/Vista will automatically install the correct drivers for the device. Suitable for GSM, CDMA, wireless LAN cards including 802.11b and Bluetooth, high performance CardBus cards, the device also handles ATA Flash, CompactFlash and Microdrives (with PC Card adapters), and much more. In fact, the reader supports nearly any 5V/3.3V 16 or 32 bit PC Card application so long as it is supported by the host operating system.
