Warner, The first link says that it would be ineconomical to build such device coz card bus uses standard PCI chip that second link I think is the other way around, that device provides access to PCMCIA through USB Ports. I am also unable to find the link for the CF - USB. so I guess there's no way to teach this old dog a new trick.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
