ExpressAdapt - PCMCIA PC CardBus to USB ExpressCard Adapter!

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.

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.
