Apple :: Expresscard Flash Reader
Aug 19, 2009
I bought one of these for my mac , it fits in the slot fine and you have to push it in until it clicks and is flush with the mac, but when i insert a flash memory card and pull the card out it pulls the entire reader out as well.
Now normally to remove the expresscard reader you press it in until it clicks and is spring loaded and pops out so you can remove it.
But why when i remove a snug fitting memory card is the entire reader pulling out , unless i use one hand to keep the reader in place as i use the other hand to pull out the memory card , is this normal?

I wonder if i can use expresscard/34 in a expresscard/54 on an Acer Aspire 6935G?
Someone who has tried?
I am looking for a better network card than the one sitting in my computer (Intel 5100 HUSK) not functioning fully, can not get the 150-270 Mbit / s. but it's on 65 Mbit / s.

I'm a little sick of sub-par Flash performance on mac. I'm aware of the Adobe-Apple catfight.
Using a mid-2009 15" with a C2D at 2.53 GHz alongside Nvidia's 9400 M, Firefox 3.6.3 on OS X 10.6.3. Flash version is 10.0.45.2 -- the most recent release version. Have tried the 10.1 beta (and newer RC) with little change.
Streaming YouTube vids staggers every minute or two for a few seconds. This is not an issue I've had much, if any, of on a Windows box.
I've tried the about:config suggestion where you extend the time in which Firefox saves its state in case of a crash; still seeing the stuttering. Is this just a Firefox issue? Firefox + Mac issue?
I'd migrate to Chrome / Safari, but both browsers seem to render fonts smaller than Firefox does; Safari has a minimum font limit, but it seems like that's not always respected (or 9-point fonts are much smaller than I'd imagine).

Anyone know if it is possible to download Itunes movies or music onto a Flash USB device instead of having it downloaded directly onto the HDD or SSD in the Macbook its self?
Trying to save space on my SSD by downloading movies directly onto my USB device instead.

my family are looking to chip in together to get my mom an e-reader for her birthday. Then we thought we'd look at the iPad. It's twice the cost, but it seems to do so much more. However, if we're gonna spend the money, I know she'd like to be able to watch Hulu shows and YouTube stuff.
In another post here someone mentioned that the iPad WILL play flash, although the Apple rep I talked to said it will not. If you have to do anything special or jump through hoops to make it work, then I'm not interested, but what is the case then and how do you make it work if at all?

When I'm watching flash video in Safari my battery life drops to 2-3 hours ... When I'm watching the same content in Firefox I'm good for another 5-6.
What is going on here and would Chrome resolve these issues? Yes I know I could try out Chrome for myself but I alone am not a good enough sample size for the question I'm asking.
At any rate, why does Firefox handle flash much better than Safari on OS X?

Has anyone any experience with these ExpressCards that modern laptops seem blighted with?
For my Aspire 2920, I've purchased a 34mm adapter to provide firewire sockets. It fits the 34/54 socket and sort of works, although I need to look at some software problems.
This is where the trouble starts. The card plugs into the wider slot, but then I attach a full-size firewire connector and its heavyish cable to the card. The card can rock sideways because, being a 34 mm card in a 54mm wide opening, there can be 20 mm of sideways movement at the front while the back is held by the internal connector. Plugging and unplugging the firewire connector wobbles the card in the slot and it is obviously connecting and disconnecting rapidly without going through the software remove process.
The whole mechanical arrangement seems hopeless. The card isn't secure and there is no button to unlock and remove the card like on the old pcmcia slots. I suppose I could carve a 20mm piece of something to wedge the card into place, but maybe someone here knows how it should be done.
Surely the ExpressCard system can't be designed to be as bad as this?

I was told that this notebook is having expansion slot that is compatible with both PCMCIA & expresscard/54, how true is it?
Most important is whether this is USB 2.0 emulated slot or true PCIe 1x slot?
Or, is this notebook having 2 slots, 1 PCMCIA and 1 expresscard/54?
Expresscard/54 seems not very common today compared to /34.

As a proud Vaio Z owner (and at the same time a poorly payed PhD student), I opted for the cheap Z with the 128GB SSD and I am already almost at full capacity.
I am looking for someway to expand my available storage. SD cards would be one option but high capacity ones are expensive, read/write speeds are not that good and I have had reliability issues with most removable media I've used in the past so I would not want to put my work-critical files on them.
I have come across these expressCard based SSD drives:
Amazon.com: Wintec FileMate 48GB Ultra ExpressCard Solid State Drive 3FMS4D48M-WR - PCI-e, Mini USB 2.0: Electronics
that seem to provide relatively good performance. However they seem a bit unreliable from the reviews, so I am still not particularly keen on getting one.
Has anyone come across any viable alternatives to the above drives?

Anyways with the new digital over the air tv signal, I heard its very clear quality and was wondering, is there a good expresscard that does the job well for tv over the air? Bonus points if the AV is in sync for game systems.

I am having a hard time deciding between the PC card slot and the expresscard slot offered on the E6400.
I own several PC cards and some express cards, so I would probably need an adapter to go from one to the other regardless.
Which adapter is easier to use? There is also the E6500 which has both slots. The only problem is that it weighs 1lb.

I have a M4400, and I notice there is no eject button for expresscard slot.
I am thinking to buy 54mm hidden esata expresscard, but i worry once i install i may not be able to pull it out because the card is not extruded like normal card. It is 'hidden'

I got my m1730 in the mail a week ago or so, and its awesome of course. But all the reviews I saw of them state that it has a remote that fits nicely into the
expresscard slot. But no where on the dell site does it allow me to buy one, nor did it allow me to add one to my configuration when i purchased the laptop. Did Dell stop offering the expresscard remote?

I have bought a Condor 2 X eSata 34mm Express Cardbus Controller for use on my Sony Vaio SZ79N which is running the 32 bit version of Vista Professional.
When I try to install using the supplied installation CD , I get the error message “No JMicron JMB36X SCSI adapter found! Setup program will terminate.”
I have downloaded what seem to be the latest drivers form their web site but can't install from them either.
what I need to run, or what settings I need to add/change or whatever to get the eSata Expresscard up and running?

I recently bought an FW490J and wanted to add eSATA capability to it. I ended up buying an AKE BC338 because it was the only one that didn't have anything sticking out of the slot itself. However, I can't seem to get this card to be detected by windows.
Actually, i got it to detect once and only once, and after that there was nothing. Has anyone gotten expresscard eSATA working under windows 7? What am I doing wrong? I know this card works because I tried it on another laptop, also with Windows 7(detected and drivers installed).

I just got a W540 running Windows 7 x64 at work. Â I have an ExpressCard ethernet adapter (A Belkin f5u250), and I'm having trouble getting it working.
Â
I used this card on a W510 running Windows XP for years with no issues.  I can still plug it into that laptop and have it work just fine.  However, when I plug it into the W540, nothing happens.  Windows does nothing.  It doesn't act like it's trying to identify hardware, go find drivers, or anything.  Nothing shows up or changes in the device manager, either.
Â
I've tried doing the "add legacy hardware" thing in device manager, but I've had no luck with that, either. Â If I do an autodetect, it doesn't find anything, and if I manually browse to the driver, it then brings me to a list of devices, and the list is empty.
Â
Is there something special I need to do to enable the expresscard slot, or enable plug and play for it, or something?

Today I found on Dell's support page there's a new firmware and application with title "Latitude On Flash".
I have E4300 with Latitude On capable but I never used it at all.
So I thought this might be the thing that makes the Latitute On something usable.
But my installation process fails with message saying there's no flash device (module?) found on my laptop

On a Vaio TX I installed a "64GB Transcend Extreme Speed 400x Ultra DMA" compact flash (CF). And just for fun I threw Windows 7 at it as well.
Here are the results.
