Interface chip links with memory cards
Following design enhancements, the VPU1655x series PCMCIA/serial interface chip can now easily be configured to interface with SD/MMC memory (SD up to 512Mbyte).
The adapters allow the use of PCMCIA cards in any workstation that has an available PCI slot but does not have a built in PCMCIA port.
And the company estimates that this is the case for a very high proportion of existing machines.
There are two different P-Series models providing full support for PCMCIA 16bit cards and three different P-Series models supporting 32bit Cardbus devices, including both single- and twin-slot versions.
Each of these adapters provides trouble-free installation in Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems and in just about any standard hardware platform available.
The design of the P311 adapter is especially suitable for newer low-profile workstations.
