PCMCIA Cards
Mrs SHJ has an older laptop with USB 1.1 ports and has been trying to connect a webcam with little success so far. The problem seems to be that most webcams are USB 2.0, even one or two that claimed to be 1.1. So.... someone suggested that we purchase a PCMCIA card with USB 2.0 ports on it and use that. Great! However, after reading articles on the web there are doubts as to whether these ports will support/power a webcam, although you'd think that it would.
And finally she has a mac, even though the sellers of said cards don't mention mac support (usually Windows 98 etc) would said card function as long as the cardbus was an industry standard ?
If anyone has any thoughts or had experiences with these PCMCIA cards i'd be be grateful to hear anything.
