Review: StarTech.com Adapter Card Shines
12:00 AM EST Mon. Jan. 22, 2007
From the January 22, 2007 issue of CRN
CRN tested the StarTech.com adapter using an Orinoco 11b/g PC card installed on an IBM notebook running Windows 2000 Professional. Installation of the Orinoco card went without a hitch and, after a quick setup, performed flawlessly once placed on an Intel-based system running Windows XP.
The StarTech.com adapter card is a full-size PCI card that probably won't fit on some dedicated servers and PCs with small form factors. (Test Center engineers could not fit the card into a small tower HP server.) When offering small PCs, system builders must consider motherboard configuration, case size and peripheral connectivity before installing these cards.
The StarTech.com card is especially useful in electronic training centers where desktops need to be set up with external digital hardware on a daily basis. For instance, the external access port allows users to quickly switch data acquisition modules such as Wi-Fi spectrum analyzers, multimeters and digital storage oscilloscopes without having to open the systems.
Custom-system builders also can offer the adapter card in PC systems that must connect to external peripherals. According to StarTech.com, the adapter works with Serial ATA and just about any external hard drive, as well as printers, scanners, PDAs, Webcams, digital cameras, CD-RWs and Zip drives.
The card supports any Type I/II/III CardBus/PCMCIA and is compliant with the i82365SL register set. In addition, the card supports 16-bit cards using PCMCIA 2.1 and JEIDA 4.2.
