I would like to perform more PCMCIA/Cardbus testing on a wider array of systems. I am considering buying a Ratoc Cardbus PC Adapter (model number CBS51U).

Here are the specs:

PCI-CardBus Bridge adapter board
Allows CardBus PC Cards to be shared by both portable and desktop PC. Supplied ISA-IRQ routing board allows you to use 16-bit PC Cards. Automatic detection between 16-bit and CardBus PC Card. ACPI support
for PC with PCI slot/ISA slot

Bus type : Type II CardBus
Bus mastering : Yes

Data Transfer Rate
Compression : (Native/Uncompressed)

The specs mention Win98 support. Hopefully that doesn't mean this is some sort of "WinCardbus Reader" heap of junk.

Has anyone gotten this board or a similar one from another manufacturer to work?

Thanks,
Miles

Desktop cardbus readers generally all work fine under Linux.
