M2457 PCI Express bus card
with ExpressCard slot - an ExpressCard slot card that plugs into the PCIe bus
in a desktop PC.
Allows users to connect 34mm or 54mm wide ExpressCards to
their desktop PC via PCI Express slot.
It is compliant with PCI Express base
specification version 1.1 and supports both PCI Express and USB interface ExpressCard.
With this board, users can easily connect to their desktop PC with a wide
range of ExpressCard, such as GigaLan, Serial-ATA, FireWire IEEE1394, Bluetooth,
Memory card reader ExpressCard.
Note: ExpressCards have
two possible ways of communicating internally with the host computer: via USB,
or via PCI Express Bus.
In order to use USB based ExpressCards
with this adaptor, a “B” type USB connector is provided on the inner
corner of the M2457 adaptor (internal to the PC), which needs to be connected
to a free USB port on the PC.
This may be done via an internal USB header
on the motherboard (using an appropriate adaptor cable – not included), or
by running a standard short USB A-B cable from the “B” connector on
the M2457 out to a USB port on the back panel of the PC.

Add a PCMCIA slot to your desktop PC
Please note that for technical reasons (crosstalk, speed,
etc), the 32 bit Cardbus PCMCIA slot
is not available with front drive bay access. The slot mechanism has to be mounted
directly onto the PCI bus expansion card.
Elan's unique range of add-in 32-bit PCI boards provides a quick, easy and
cost effective way to use PCMCIA (PC Cards) on your desktop PC.
This means you can use your WLAN card, Compact Flash(™)
/ MemoryStick / SmartMedia / MMC / SD card, or other special purpose PC Cards
like Bluetooth, Fingerprint recognition or DAQ functions
Whatever card you
need to use, the Elan P-Series range supports them all, thanks to its patented
hardware and software interrupt handling.
Unlike other PCI adapters for PC
Cards, the Elan adapters do not use an extra "ISA paddle board" to support
I/O cards and they do not use polling methods in-place of hardware IRQs.
That's
why our adapters work in Windows 95(osr2+), 98, 98SE, Millennium Edition, NT4,
2000, XP,
and Linux (and DOS too if required) MacOS9. So far there have been
no problems with OSX.
For NT4 users, we can also supply Systemsoft CardWizard
software bundled with any model to offer extra facilities.

P311
PCI to PCMCIA AdapterRequires a Low Profile PCI slot inside the computer.
Also requires a clear space next-to the PCI connector on the motherboard
of the PC, because the P311 has the slot mechanism that hangs down in the space
between PCI connectors. Card slot is at the rear of the computer. Supports all
PCMCIA cards.
The P311 is perfect for use with Wireless cards including WLAN (802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g) and wireless modem cards e.g. GPRS, CDMA and the new 3G datacards.
To cater for the latest generation of Low
Profile PCs that can only use Low Profile PCI add-in boards, Elan has created
the P311.
This model, from the P-Series range, features a Cardbus Type II
slot and a circuit board that conforms to the MD1 profile specification.
It
will allow you to use any TypeI or TypeII PCMCIA or Cardbus card.
Due to the
space restrictions of Low Profile PCs and the relatively large size of PCMCIA
cards, the P311 may not be mechanically compatible with every motherboard, although
typically at least one PCI connector will have suitable free space around it to
use the P311.
Please see below for further details.
