Opinions on this device please

[volvofl10]

need to have USB 2.0 capabilitys on an "old" laptop , which only has USB 1 and firewire ports.

found this item at a few places , but need to know opinions on how good it is or isnt

pcmcia USB 2.0 adapter

 

if ive read it right, it will utilise the pcmcia card slot which is onto the cardbus, and enable USB 2.0 speeds ?, or have i got it totally wrong?

 

all my current external devices are firewire (1394) or 1394/usb2.0 , but i only use firewire connections, however the newer items available are mainly USB 2.0 only .

 

considering a LGE20N drive that Dontasciime has posted about in chat forum

 

all views/opinions welcome
