Has anyone gotten the FBUS PCMCIA card to work on a PCI to PCMCIA adapter board?

I have lots of success with the PCMCIA card in laptop PCMCIA slots, but no luck with the PCMCIA card in a desktop PC with a Quatech PCD-B/PCI-E PCI adapter for PCMCIA boards.  I am thinking that my problem resides with the adapter board but I would like to know if anyone has had success with the FBUS series 2 PCMCIA card with a PCI to PCMCIA adapter.  I got a WinXP SP2 IBM ThinkCentre desktop.  Thanks

We have ever used some PCMCIA to PCI adaptors, they are working properly with NI PCMCIA-FBUS card as well as NI-FBUS software.

I'd like to recommend the single CardBus PCMCIA slot adaptor from Elan Digital System:

We have used the adaptor in a Dell Dimension desktop, running XP SP2, and NI-FBUS Configurator 3.1.1 runs well.

Another adaptor is a long card, which is Gigabyte GA-MPCI, it works well with some old desktops, but the length of the card is about twice of the card of Elan Digital System; it might not fit your requirement.

Hope it helps.

Hi Ryan,
Further to the note above - when you did the testing with the Elan Digital cards, was this with the Series ONE or TWO cards.
If both were not  tested can you confirm that the FF Series 1 & 2 will both work with the above & what versions of the NI Config software will work with what.

I have tested both PCMCIA-FBUS series1 and series 2 cards. They both work with Elan Digital card. The software is NI-FBUS 3.2.
