ExpressAdapt - PCMCIA PC CardBus to USB ExpressCard Adapter!

Posted in Computer, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Laptop, USB by max on the August 29th, 2008 at 10:49 am

Do you have old laptops with PCMCIA PC slots but you have couple ExpressCard adaptors running around your house?

Then you need ExpressAdapt, a PCMCIA to ExpressCard converter, which will let you use new ExpressCard devices on your PCMCIA slot without any software/hardware modifications to your laptop.

ExpressAdapt overcomes power considerations of earlier 32-bit PC CardBus adapters providing 1000mA at 3.3V and 650mA at 1.5V. With the ability to supply power on both ExpressCard rails, newer cards like the Option Wireless GT Max 3.6 Express are fully supported. Crafted with the highest quality connectors and frame materials, ExpressAdapt meets or exceeds the requirements of every standards body it falls under.

Eee PC Hack - How to Hack your Internal Devices on an ASUS Eee PC!

Here’s a great wiki site showing you good information on how to hack the ASUS Eee PC including how to add a GPS unit without breaking your arm off.

There are several points on the motherboard where power can be draw, for devices requiring 3.3v or 5v. Ground is universal and allows for short wire runs. A diagram over the points can be found on the research page.

The signal wires thickness is 30 AWG and 24 AWG for the power and ground wires. The wire type is called wire wrap and used for prototyping and repair work. Mine is Tefzel insulated and made by Habia Cable. Some of the devices are held in place by double-sided 1 mm thick foam tape. To cover up and prevent shorts I used 3M Kapton 10 mm wide tape.

And this looks pretty cool once installed inside the water. Hmmm…then again, we need autonomous fish that can swim around too kinda like these Autonomous Light Vessels:
