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.

  • Swap Express Card/34 slot for SD Reader

    Is there a way to swap the Express Card Slot for an SD card slot, like the current MacBooks have?

    Short answer, no. Get a SD ExpressCard Adapter.

  • Express Card Slot on MacBook?

    Has anyone heard if Apple plans to have an express card expansion slot on future macbooks like they do on the PRO models. I want an ultra-portable notebook with the ability to accept the new EDVO WAN cards for the 34mm express slot?
    Thanks - Kevin

    I would think it were highly unlikely for Apple to include a slot of any kind in the MacBook. Apple reserves such funtionality for their Pro models. While I think the use of the word "never" is a little strong it's probably appropriate.

  • Express Card Driver Not found after upgrade to 10.6.7

    I upgraded my macbook pro to version 10.6.7 recently and later found out that the express card 34 slot drive was missing and could not access my Sony SxS cards. After some extensive search I found the site where I could retrieve the driver from. It is listed below. Worked for me! It should work for you also.

  • Express Card 34

    Does anyone know if an adaptor exists to adapt a Compact Flash card into the Express Card 34 slot on a MBP? If not how about CF to Firewire or USB?

    There is an adapter by Delkin Devices called the eFilm express card 34 compact flash adapter. Cost = $60 I haven't ever tried it so I can't comment on how well it works but there is one out there if you want to use the EC 34 slot for CF card reader.
    But what I use is a typical Sandisk Compact flash card reader via USB2. It's a lot cheaper and the speeds are fast enough. My CF use is for digital photography. Got mine at Best Buy, I believe. You can also, of course, buy a firewire CF reader for the speed of transfer only, if that is very important to you, but the cost for those is expensive too.
    Also, the CF adapter for express card 34, I am pretty sure that it is NOT flush with the mac book pro when inserted, so it will stick out there a ways, so it wouldn't probably be an adapter you'd want to leave installed if you move your laptop around a lot. That was the reason I decided to stick with the USB2 CF reader.
    Hope the info helps.
    Regards.

  • Satellite P300-150 PSPC4E: Cannot get Express Card slot working with XP

    Hello.
    I have downgraded to XP on my machine and unfortunetly I am unable to get the Express card slot to work.
    The Intel chipset drivers on the Toshiba site haven't dont anything.
    I am trying to get an eSata port working via the express card like I did with Vista but no joy at all.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Rob

    Go to Device Manager and check if the express card is installed properly, or if its reporting an error.
    You should update the BIOS to the latest version. BIOS updates can sometimes fix problems like this.
    And ensure you have XP Service Pack 2 or 3 installed.

  • HP Pavilion DV7 1240us Express Card Slot Stopped Working

    My express card slot stopped working.
    The tech I was working with for the HP tuner card seems to think it is a driver or hardware issue.
    Please see the email string below.
    I tried all I know to get the slot to work, but I do not know which driver for it.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Below are the emails.
    Thanks, the problem is I do not know which driver it is.
    I looked through the entire device manager tree, and do not know which driver controls the express slot, can you send me in the right direction?
    I have an HP Pavilion DV& 1240us laptop.
    Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Without inserting another device into the slot the only thing I can think of is checking device manager for the drivers for that express slot and see if they are installed or reinstall the drivers.
    If the device works on another laptop but continues to have problems on the first one then there must be something going on with the express slot on the first laptop.

    No I do not, have you had this type of issue before?
    Could it be missing or corrupt drivers?
    Is there a way to test the slot without a device, checking drivers etc..

    Yes it is connected directly, it does not even get recognized by device manager.
    No default beep when plugging and unplugging.
    IT USED TO WORK NO PROBLEM.
    It will work in another laptop.
    I am a tech by trade, so if I have to edit the registry, etc.. let me know.
    Right now I am baffled, what can I do.

    Hello,
    Are you making sure to connect the 1500 directly into the express slot in the laptop and into a usb converter?
    When it is plugged in does anything appear in device manager with a yellow mark next to it? Is it being listed under sound, video, game controllers at all?

    The tuner works in another laptop, so it is not the hardware.
    Will not make the customary sound when plugged and unplugged.
    I am very PC savy and tried all I know, driver reinstall etc..
    Please help.

    Hey there,
    Can you explain more on this issue? I see by the emails the Express card slot is not functioning. What you are using in the card slot? Is the the HP TV Tuner card? If so, do you have another express card handy so you could test to see if it was the card or the slot? If your missing the driver you will need to use the HP Recovery CD to reinstall the TV Tuner driver.

    Hi Jessica,
    No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
    I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

  • Express Card, 3/4 Slot  Wireless Usage

    I currently have a powerbook G4 15" (1.67 GHz) and that I use for travel. I would like to use the MacBook Pro but the Express Card slot is smaller than the one on my Powerbook.
    Has anyone had any success with a wireless broadband card (cell phone card) on the MacBook Pro? I have verizon, but am willing to switch. I was told it was compatible???
    Please Advise...

    Hi,
    Take a look at this;

    Also - and I can't say I know anything about this, but as the MBP has bluetooth - could a bluetooth enabled phone perform the same task? Might be worth asking Verizon.
    Best of luck

  • High Capacity storage using Express Card slot

    Hi guys,
    I know this probably isn't the right forum but I couldn't find a more appropriate one.
    I've got a MacBook Pro 2.16ghz Intel Core Duo and I need serious storage options!
    I'm basically looking for high capacity RAID 5 storage to store/edit/capture onto. I edit mostly on SD but sometimes HDV (I own an HVR-Z1E). I've got a first edition MacBook Pro and so only have one firewire port which will be taken up when capturing by the camera.
    I'm probably going to have to use the express card slot but haven't really thought about what card/wires yet. I'm wanting to spend under £1000 in total and would ideally like Raid 5 configuration to build some safety into my system (lost a project through a broken drive the other day). I'm hoping for a 2tb system or there abouts but am happy to go for less and keep plugging in more HDD later.
    I was considering this la cie: http://www.lacie.com/uk/products/product.htm?pid=10850 but I'm very open to suggestion and at the moment am most concerned about data rate especially on capture. On RAID 5 is that a problem with this drive if I connected with USB2.0?
    Sorry for the odd placement (I'd be happy to re-post in a more appropriate forum if that's useful).
    All the best,
    Dan

  • Workaround for the missing express card slot on the 15"

    I was ready to click the buy now button for the new 15 inch and then realized that there is not an express card slot. I know there is one in the 17 inch, but that is out of my price range and try using it while flying coach.
    Anyway I edit film and video. I use the express slot for ingestion of P2 data and estata cards, not to mention a Matrox MXO2.
    Question: How are users with the 15 inch going to get data input speeds higher than FW400. You can edit HD, but it barks at you.
    Since the only port that is open is the ethernet, can someone invent an adapter that will allow the ethernet jack to be the input for devices? I am just asking for speculation. I also assume that the SD card slot can only be used for SD. I would be afraid to have anything other than an SD card sticking out of the MAC.
    Anyway, I will try to look for the last generation 15 inch and can get the new 17inch, but since I hook my current 15 inch up to an external monitor and use it for rough editing in the field, I would really love to have a 15 inch that can do what I need.
    Cheers.

    What I did was just got a refurbished model. Really the new version is not really upgraded from the last version in any significant manner. They moved the product line around a bit, and changed a connection. As a Mac "Genuis" told me, 1 nice thing about the refurbs is that the unit has been looked over carefully before its sent out. You'll save a few hundred dollars and you can get a 2.66 or even a 2.53 or 2.4 with the express slot and everything else pretty much the same, oops, hmmm except for the 8GB ram, that's actually a big feature. However, many say the 15's will take 6GB though not officially supported by Apple. Anyways, it's a way to get a computer with the express slot and save some money. Just a thought:)

  • Satellite L505-10P - Is there really an Express card slot?

    Hello,
    In the features of the Toshiba L505-10P, an Express card slot is mentionned. I feel a bit stupid to ask this but where is this slot? I can see something which looks like this above the Esata input but it's closed. How do you open the slot?
    Thank you very much
    Anaon

    Hi buddy,
    Tonny is right. There is no Express Card Slot on Satellite L505. It will not supported and you cant add such a slot.
    But you have a Bridge Media Slot that supports memory cards like SD, SDHC, etc.
    By the way, youre welcome in forum! ;)

  • SD Card Reader in Express Card slot

    I have an iMac with a built in SD card reader and when a card is inserted, it is displayed with a bespoke drive icon showing an image of an SD card. On my MBP I use an SD card reader in the Express Card slot. Is there any way I can make cards inserted in this reader use the same icon as the iMac rather than the generic white External Drive icon?

    Is it this one?

  • Is there express card slot to install eSata ?

    Hi,
    Product Name: pavilion dv6
    Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
    Product name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support.
    Product number: LM610EA#A2N
    According to the pictures of my product I posted below , there is no express card slot. So eSata is out. And as I was said, there is no real functional difference between an enclosure and a cable. Is there a very good option to have eStat port?

    Thanks a lot,
    As you said my HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support does NOT have [B]eSATA/USB combination port. So, I really don't see any eSata port on the case of my laptop, such as USB3, USB2 ports, and other connectors, such VGA, and HDMI, and so on.
    However, my question is  as long as my my HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support does NOT have [B]eSATA/USB combination port, then I don't know if my existing internal Toshiba HDD drive is connected to an eSata interface port of my laptop or not.
    Moreover, What  I know is that an eSata port can be a port inside a PC, and not shown in the left/right side of the case of a PC like USB3/2.  As a result, if I want to convert  my existing internal Toshiba HDD drive as an external HDD to be connected to a  USB 3.0/2.0 port, how could I do as long as my existing internal Toshiba HDD drive has only eSata interface port, or otherwise it cannot be  installed inside my laptop via eSata port. 

  • Sat Pro M70-113: Express Card slot - What for?

    Hi
    This new expansion Express Card slot for notebooks has two sizes: Express Card/34 and Express Card/54, whose widths will be 34 mm (1/8) and 54 mm, respectively. Both are 75 mm long and 5 mm thick. The idea is the same of the PCCard, only that by using serial communication instead the parallel one, it uses less pins (only 26 pins, against 68 pins in the PC Card) and that permits the manufacture of smaller expansion boards.
