PC Card/CardBus slot

How can I tell if the slot on the side of my computer will work with one of those compact flash card readers such as:
http://www.lexarmedia.com/readers/cf32bit.html
All the Lexar site says regarding system requirements is "Mac or PC with Cardbus enabled PC card slot"

Your machine has a CardBus compliant PC card slot, which can take a Type I or II card.

Cardbus slot (And therefore firewire and SD card??) performance very slow after Windows 8.1 update.

Hi All,
Just updated to Windows 8.1 64 bit from Windows 8. The Cardbus slot speed/bandwidth has dropped considerably to the point that it is now unusable since the update. It worked fine before, although I had a similar problem in the past which was cured by a BIOS update. Since the RICOH chip that controls this slot also control the Firewire and the SD Slot, I was wondering whether these are also affected?
Does anyone else have the same issue? I expect it affects all computer with this chip: T61/X61/R61 etc etc.
Would someone who is on Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8.0 64 bit mind sending me the pci.sys and pcmcia.sys files so that I can try rolling the drivers back to a previous version?
System details:
Thinkpad X61 Tablet
Core 2 Duo 1.6
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
Windows 8.1
Many thanks.

Hi @PriyanshuJ ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

1 GHz eMac - slot over CD-Rom drive - is it a standard cardbus slot?

I own a 1 GHz eMac. When I purchased it, I also purchased an Airport Extreme card which is installed in the slot directly over the CD-Rom drive. See this quicktime movie to see where the slot is:
http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/html/emac/emac-airport.mov.html
Is this a standard cardbus slot?
I don't connect to my home network wirelessly so I don't use the airport card and since there will shortly be a new Video iPod in the family I'm wondering if I can remove the airport card and put a USB 2.0 cardbus card in there instead.
The CD-ROM door is removed easily enough and I don't care about the looks so much (maybe a sin in AppleLand so please forgive me).
Anyone know for sure? I even looked in the most recent MacTracker and it's not clear whether it's a standard cardbus slot or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sorry but no, it is not a standard slot of any type. The Airport and Airport Extreme slots are proprietary to Apple and only work with Airport/Airport Extreme cards.

How to remove SD Card from the Card Reader slot - Satellite A100?

Hi,
Is there anyone to help me? I inserted a 64 MB SD card in the card reader slot of my Toshiba A100 model. It's the first time i have inserted the card. The card is inside the slot. I can not take it out! I don't have any idea how to remove the card from the card reader slot. I can see the contents of my SD card, can open the files too. But how to remove it out from the slot. Please help me giving your idea to remove the card out from the slot.
Arjun

Hi
In my knowledge the SD card slot doesnt has a any additional helps like the PCMCIA slot to remove the card.
You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps

I am unable to insert the Memory Stick into the card reader slot on my HP 7510

I have three Photosmart 7510's (C311a) and one Photosmart Premier (C310a). All of these printers have the identical Card Reader slot on the lower, left front corner. ALL four printers will not accept a standard Sony Memory Stick from my Sony digital camera. In all cases, the slot has two layers for "DUO SD MMC" chips and each will accept the "Sony Memory Stick Duo" without the silver and white MSAC-M2 Adaptor. No matter what I try, the Memory Sticks will not even start to go into the slot. I have looked into the slots with a fiber=optic flashlight attachment and there appears to be no issues -- except, possibly, the separator between the upper and lower part of the two-slot opening, is a little above center in the opening. Sitting in front of the 7510, I can look into the slot and see a white or very light gray surface that is sided to side across the opening, just inside the opening. When I get down and look into the slot at about a 'flat' angle, the white surface does appear to be just high enough that it partially obstructs the lower slot -- all the way across the slot.
I have tried four Memory Sticks and two Memory Stick Duo's, with and without adaptor. NOTE that the Memory Stick DUO, when NOT in the adaptor, will fit right into the upper part of the slot. However, with the Memory Stick Duo in its adaptor, and all the other Memory Sticks I have, none of them will start inot the upper or lower 'bay' in the slot opening.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I think I will declare this discussion closed. In an earlier post I said I would need to keep working at this problem until I seized up the right setting. Well for my 1080ii XDCAM EX 35 timeline, I have alredy tried a number of settings. The source WWV is 1280x720. The problem is stuttering video losing every other frame, audio popping or audio continuously losing a greater amount of sync. I tried APPLE TV 1280x720 in Compressonr (I'm still making more, not all have been tested.) The Apple TV h.264 works. It has to be rendered. I know some will say that's not optimal. I have put a lot of time into this with no other good results so I'm accepting this for now. I might be cooking up another right now in Compressor that will work better. Thanks to the posters.

Is there a PC Card / cardbus option to get lightpipe? (Optical I/O?

Any PC Card/cardbus out there for my PowerBook G4 that gives me Light pipe In/Out?
I'm wanting to run QLab to my Yamaha 01v digital mixer, and want the sound to stay digital (via optical cable to my ADAT input on mixer).
I could use some device like Firewire 410, but want to have full 8 channel In/Out straight from the PC... is that possible?
Any help, direction, or suggestions are most appreciated!
Patrick

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

Document "Is my PXI card hybrid slot compatible?"

Hi, I would like to ask for some clarification and make a suggestion for Document 4S3F9Q9G, "Is my PXI Card Hybrid Slot Compatible (PXIe-Ready)". In this document, there is a series of statements about the compatibility of various card types with various slot types.
Link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/50C189CF7BF8884B86257515007184F4
I know that the document only intends to say whether any type of card is compatible with a PXI Hybrid Slot, it almost answers the question of what all cards are compatible with what all slots, which is the more general question I am trying to answer as I try to juggle devices and chassises.
Knowing basically nothing about the PXI standards, I attempted to produce a compatibility matrix from these statements alone, and I'd like to see if I arrived at the correct conclusions. I'm not sure if I used the conventional nomenclature, but it should be clear from the statements why I used those terms. See the attached PDF.
There are the pictures at the bottom where you can play a game of hocus focus to figure out which cards fit in which slots, but I think it would be much clearer with a matrix.
So my suggestions for the document are:
add/edit the statements provide information about "blank" cells
add a completed compatibility matrix for quick reference.
Indicate on the matrix, or reference, the standard symbols indicating slot types, used below the slots of a PXI chassis
Thanks,
-Gregory Ng

Great to hear that it looks correct. I assume that you mean that I have not introduced any erroneous information.
But the reason that I submitted this message here, rather than directly on the page, is because I believe that my matrix is incomplete, and so I was hoping for some expert feedback on that and a quick commentary about why.
For example:
- Will the PXI system timing slot accept standard connector PXI cards, 32-bit compactpci cards, or hybrid compatible cards?
- Is it possible to plug a PXI standard connector module into a PXI hybrid slot?
Just for completeness, the text and matrix don't answer these questions, but I don't actually care about them.
- Is it possible to plug a PXI system timing module into a PXI hybrid slot?
- Will a standard PXI slot accept system timing cards, 32-bit compact pci cards, or hybrid compatible cards?

Inbuilt speakers, microphone & SD card reader slot is not working from day one

Dear friend
I bought my HP mini (model no. Hp Mini 110-3009TU; Sr. No. CNC02139GY) on 14th august 2010 from Home Comforts, MP Nagar Bhaopl, Madhya Pradesh, India. I bought it without any operating system and installed Linux [Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)] on it. I'd like to inform you that it has two problems form day one.
First problem is with inbuilt speakers & microphone, which are not functioning. However my headphone are working with this laptop. So I believe there is no problem with sound related driver. I think it is a hardware problem.
Second problem is in SD card reader slot, which doesn't read inserted SD card.
I've gone to HP service centre situated in MP Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Experts over there said that they'll have to formate existing operating system (Linux) and need to install Windows to 'check' whether the said hardware(speakers, microphone & SD card reader) are working or not. Otherwise I've to bring one more laptop so same brand and same model, then only they can check by replacing parts.
Both the options they'd given were ridiculous! I didn't understood why they are forcing me to install Windows?
If HP is also selling laptops without any operating system, then it means the costumer is free to install any operating system of his/her choice. And why should I bring one more laptop? Doesn't your service centre equipped with proper instruments and expertise to check hardware of a laptop?
Pretty girls working in your service centre were totally unaware of card reader – how does it functions?
Even they didn't had any SD card to insert and check.
One among them told me in soft voice: “Sir, you'll have to purchase one 'Jack' for this.” When I inquired further what is 'Jack' and why should I have to purchase it when all other laptops doesn't need such jack? She gone mute as my inbuilt speakers.
Even if I do allow your service centre to install Windows to try out whether speakers, microphone and card reader is working or not, its sure 'experts' at your service centre will install pirated version of Windows. Is it not a malpractice? Does HP allow its service centre to do so??
And further, even if I ignore your malfunctioning for my benefit, could your service centre assure me that inbuilt speakers, microphone and card reader will function properly in Linux as well. Because I would like to continue using Linux.
I request you to look into the matter and tell me what to do.
regards,
amit kohli

Anyone know how much it typically costs to replace the card reader hardware? Mine isn't reading, however I reason to believe the hardware was damaged.

5D Mark III Not Recognising CF Card in Slot 1.

I recently inserted a CF card into slot 1, but the camera cannot see it or format it.
I've tried two known, good, error free CF cards, but the camera just tells me they cannot be accessed and to change them or format them in camera.
I've checked for bent pins in the slot, but they seem ok from what I can see. I contacted Canon Support who told me to revert all camera settings to factory default, which I did, but it failed to solve the issue. Failing that they advised to have the camera checked at a Canon Service Centre. The problem is I'm currently living and working in a country that doesn't have a service centre. I can't afford the downtime involved in sending it to another country to be repaired, so I wondered if any other Mark III users had come across a similar issue and solved it without the need of a service centre?
The SD cards still work, so all is not lost, but I'd like the option to use the CF cards, particularly for high speed shooting, which they seem to handle better than SD cards.
Any tips, suggestions, ideas welcomed.
Mant Thanks
Phil

Hi Cale_Kat,
I've used a flashlight and magnifying glass, and as far as I can see the pins look ok.
I spoke to a local professional photographer who gave the address of a place that turned out to be a Canon approved repair centre here. I've just back from there. They said 3-4 days to investigate and hopefully repair.
My dissatisfaction with Canon tech support is not the lack of service centres. I fully appreciate they can't have one in every country. My complaint is the lack of knowledge of my problem. I got more potential fix ideas just surfing the net than I did from Canon. As I'm not the only person to have had this problem, the least I would have expected from the manufacturer is a list of things to try, or even a blunt but simple 'your camera needs to be returned for repair'.
I've never had a problem with any Canon product I've owned in the past, which is testimony to the quality of the products they produce, and I'm sure they do offer a prompt service when you're fortunate enough to be somewhere where they have a service centre, but as I travel extensively, quite often my only line of enquiry for any tech related problem is a tech support line. In this case I just don't think Canon offered anything close to an effective level of support.
Anyway, I will see what the approved repair centre says when they've had chance to check it out.
Thanks for your reply cale_kat. This forum is a very good source for Canon users and I appreciate your input. If I get to find out what the issue is with my camera I will be sure to post a reply for the benefit of any other users.
Thanks
Phil

Nano Sim Card Tray Slot Holder Black (For iPhone 5)

Where can I buy apple oem Nano SIM card tray slot holder black for Iphone 5?

Try eBay. Apple does not sell parts.

Express Card 34/slot

I would like to use a mac for mobile wireless access. Just bought a MacBook but having trouble finding any way to do this.
I am considering upgrading to the Mackbook PRO. Can I use it at the office for high speed mobile intenet? There doesn't seem to be a wireless service provider (verizon, cingular etc. )offering a modem for the express card 34/slot yet. Anyone know how long I have to wait before this is a real service?

I am in the UK, does anyone know if there are any items coming to the market to fit this slot ? I really need a compact flash card adaptor for downloading the images from my digital slr, I have moved from a windows machine with the standard PCMCIA slot but cannot locate anything to fit the new express card slot, I have to use a multi-card reader plus all cabling which is not the most compact when travelling.

SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC/MS/MS Pro card-reader slot not showing up in windows explorer.

I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre, purchased only four weeks ago. It product family is IdeaCentre k410, machine type 10089. Anyhow, the problem is: I inserted a microSD / microSDHC, both of which seem to fit into the slot fine, though neither registers under anywhere in windows explorer, neither in the root of C://, nor in any of the subdirectories, or on the main listing of mounted file systems. I used the Lenovo Driver Updater and re-installed the SD Card Reader driver, to no avail. Any help would greatly be appreciated. As well, the computer runs Windows 8, which has some features I'm unhappy with, and although this is not a windows forum and I don't mean to create a thread that deviates from lenovo-specific topics, I was wondering if there is anything in either the machine architecture or the software of Windows 8 that could hinder m in installing a dual-boot system so that I might have the option of running a variant of linux as a sub-operating system, as I did with windows XP.????? OK any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, thank in advance. I really want to be able to retrieve some writing files I have stored in that micro SDHC card. As another aside, does anyone know the max limit of RAM this computer can take and if it is DDR or some other type?

hi BrokenHalo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Regarding your questions:
1. When you inserted the SD card, do you hear a sound that a device is inserted and under Device Manger, do you see a Card Reader?
If not, try to:
a. boot intto the BIOS by pressing F1, load defaults by pressing F9 then press F10 to save and exit BIOS.
b. Reseat the front panel connectors (see page 23 of the hardware maintenance manual)
2. To install linux (i.e. Ubuntu), see if you can install Ubuntu via UEFI. If you're unable to do so or if you want to install other OS, try to:
a. Boot into the BIOS by pressing F2 and set the following settings below
UEFI Boot Mode = Legacy
Secure Boot = Disabled (if applicable)
CSM = Disabled / Legacy or Other OS (if applicable)
OS Optimized Default = Disabled or Legacy (if applicable)
b. When finished, press F10 to save and exit BIOS then try to install Ubuntu via Wubi or insert your Windows installation disc to install a different OS.
3. As per this pdf data sheet, the Lenovo K410 has a max RAM of 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 but Crucial reports that this unit can take up to 16GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 - check this site.
Hope this helps

Need explicit instructions on how to eject SD card from slot

Just got the iMac and tried downloading pics off my SD card. Can't find the "Finder" to eject the SD card from the slot. Can someone give me step by step instructions? Thank you!

"How do I remove a card from the SD card slot?
As with any removable media device, allow any data transfer to SD media to complete before removing the card. When removing the card, the best way to insure the integrity of your data is to drag the icon that represents the card to the Trash, then remove the card from the slot after the icon disappears from your desktop."

Dont worry. Just light a match, and set fire to whatever is left in the hole.
