USB PCMCIA card
Hi all- My trusty Epson 740 died yesterday, and having a Wallstreet PB, my printer options are somewhat limited. I went to CompUSA and bought a USB 2.0 Cardbus 2 port adapter (and an Epson C62). Haven't unpacked it all yet, but I was wondering if: - does anyone have any experience wit this? I don't care about the USB 2.0, but just need a USB printer port - do I need any drivers, etc under OS 9.2.2? They said there's a floppy with drivers in the box (oh joy!); or in typical Mac fashion, should this just work? - any comments on the printer?

It still tried to send the output through the serial port, and found no printer there. Maybe that's because I hadn't deleted my Stylus 600 driver?? Anyone successfully using an Epson USB printer on a Wallstreet? I used my mother-in-law's Canon and it worked just fine with the drivers that came on the CD with it.

If not, try apple's drivers - available on the system disk, or downloadable separately from the Apple site (USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31132 Thanks!

USB PCMCIA CARD
My Wallstreet w/ OS X works fine with my Macally USB card. The only trouble I had is with my USB CD-R burner. I was burning a video tape and the computer froze and somhow distroyed all my extensions, so that I had to do a clean install of the OS. It took me a considerable length of time to figure out what had happened, like maybe six hours. Wonder if anyone else has had similar problem. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Looking for USB PCMCIA Card for Wallstreet PowerBook
I don't know about the Visor cradle, but my Palm cradle actually goes to serial (for pc's) first. I then connect it to either my older non-USB Macs with a PC-serial to Mac serial short adapter cord (this would be a modem/printer port on the older powerbooks), or I use a PC-serial to USB short adapter cord to plug in to my iMac USB. Either of these little cables is available as a Palm part. They are inexpensive. If your cradle can do PC-serial, then this is a route for you. If it can only do USB then this won't work.

Re: Looking for USB PCMCIA Card for Wallstreet PowerBook
Thanks for the tips, Donna, but I have an Epson printer already attached to the serial port on the PB, and adding a USB card will let me use the USB cradle that came with the Visor at the same time, as opposed to futzing around with a serial switchbox, which I've played with be before, and none of them ever worked flawlessly. Even though this will be more expensive, in the long run it will be a more trouble-free solution, plus I'll have a 2nd USB port available for other types of newer peripherals in the furture.
