CompactFlash Type I to 16-bit PCMCIA PC Card Type I/II Adapter for ATA Flash
The CompactFlash to PC Card adapter provides a passive pin out (50-pin) from a CompactFlash slot equipped host to a 68-pin Type I or II 16-bit PCMCIA PC Card. Voltage conversion/regulation or signal level conversion is not provided. Synchrotech sells this device for use with USB CompactFlash readers and ATA Flash PC Cards, providing simple inexpensive ATA Flash card access for John Deere Greenstar system and other ATA Flash users.
End users needing to read ATA Flash PC Cards, please purchase both the ADP-ATA-CF and PCM-CR-UEMUL01 together.
Although unsupported by Synchrotech, the adapter allows host devices like Pocket PCs, Handhelds and some laptops with built on CompactFlash+ slots to utilize 16-bit PCMCIA PC Cards within matching electrical ranges, so long as the device has driver support for the PC Card class in use.
