(More customer reviews)What a consolation to find a usb 2.0 pcmcia card that works so well after my disaster with the Adaptec 1420 card! (See my other review for that one if interested....)
No fuss, no difficulty in installation - simply downloaded the most recent drivers from OrangeMicro's website before buying it. Installed the drivers and then installed the card - voila! Four usb 2.0 ports!
I have a 48x24x48 Iomega external usb 2.0 burner; the card is completely backwards compatible and there is no loss of speed as far as I have been able to tell. (I am working off of XP Pro OS - no SP's installed.) And seeing as I have seven usb devices connecting to my notebook such a thing is very handy to have.
The accompanying external power supply could be a liability for those who need to travel with the card and some device or another, but I do not - mine is a desktop replacement and if I take it somewhere I unplug everything anyway before I go. So for me it is no bother.
I would highly recommend this card if you have several usb devices of both sorts (2.0 and 1.1) to your notebook if it is a desktop replacement like mine is. If you are a notebook user of the more mobile type, though, this card might not be for you.

The OrangeUSB 2.0 Hi-Speed CardBus PC Card allows you the freedom of mobility with your portable computer. The USB 2.0 CardBus is a dramatic performance increase over the standard USB 1.1. Whereas USB 1.1 is only 12Mbits/s, the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed specification used by the OrangeUSB 2.0 CardBus runs at up to 480Mbits/s. USB, standing for "Universal Serial Bus", allows you to attach multiple peripheral devices simultaneously with automatic device detection and installation. The OrangeUSB 2.0 Hi-Speed CardBus Card is "backwards-compatible" which means you can plug in your older USB peripherals along with your USB 2.0 Hi-Speed peripherals with no loss in performance of either.
