Synchrotech announced their PCIE-RS232-01 PCIe to RS-232 Serial host adapter is now new and improved with a new chipset. This PCI Express based RS-232 host adapter (AKA COM Port) now with 128-byte deep transmit/receive FIFOs and up to 225 Kbps transfer baud rates. Operating system support has been expanded as well, working with Windows 2000, XP/2003 32/64 bit, and The Vista 32/64 bit. Harnessing the powerful PCI Express capabilities on modern motherboards, the x1 PCI Express to Serial I/O adds a fast serial COM port to computers for attaching fax/modems, bar code scanners, court reporters, data acquisition equipment, mag stripe readers, GPS receivers, digital cameras or other RS-232 serial devices.

FarSite's FarSync X.25 adapter line now includes PCIe based products for modern motherboards. The T4Ue and T2Ue provide the same high performance and high reliability X.25 connectivity for 32 and 64 bit Linux, Windows XP, Server 2003, and The Vista on a PCI Express host adapter as FarSite's other T-Series adapters. The PCIe to X.25 host adapters come with FarSite's extensive APIs and SDK. The four port T4Ue is available now, and the two port T2Ue will be available soon.Thursday, 4 September 2008
Recently there has been a shift in interest from internal SCSI host adapters SCSI host adapters utilizing external busses like high performance FireWire and prosaic USB. While Ratoc's FireWire and USB to SCSI adapters have been on the market for quite some time, they are beginning to grow in popularity since they are an inexpensive and accessible way to work with older SCSI devices. This FAQ document is intended to clear up some of the confusion over deploying Ratoc adapters with SCSI devices.Covered in the FAQ: matching SCSI connector types, Term Power and other power considerations, SCSI converter adapters, and links to compatibility lists.

ExpressAdapt CardBus to ExpressCard
ExpressAdapt overcomes power considerations of earlier 32-bit PC CardBus adapters providing 1000mA at 3.3V and 650mA at 1.5V. With the ability to supply power on both ExpressCard rails, newer cards like the Option Wireless GT Max 3.6 Express are fully supported. Crafted with the highest quality connectors and frame materials, ExpressAdapt meets or exceeds the requirements of every standards body it falls under.
ExpressAdapt is a PCMCIA PC CardBus to USB ExpressCard Adapter. It works with USB 2.0 Mode ExpressCards only. This includes WWAN Wireless broadband cards like the Kyocera KPC680 and the Sierra Wireless AC597E. Like all PC Card to ExpressCard adapters, ExpressAdapt does NOT work with PCIe based ExpressCards. ExpressCards using the PCI Express (PCIe) portion of the ExpressCard standard include very high performance devices like FireWire 800 and eSATA host adapters.

USB 2.0 to USB Mode ExpressCard Adapters only work with ExpressCard 34 devices utilizing the USB 2.0 portion of the ExpressCard specification. They will not work with and ExpressCard 54 device, or any ExpressCard utilizing the PCIe (PCI Express) portion of the ExpressCard specification. The new MicroU2E-MV adds support for ExpressCards utilizing both 3.3 and 1.5V portions of the ExpressCard standard, while the original MicroU2E supports 3.3V only. The following table is by no means comprehensive, nor guaranteed completely accurate.

In this world of Faster, Faster, Faster, the Synchrotech ExpressCard Reader ($65) will become a permanent addition to my camera/computer bag. If you have a notebook with an ExpressCard slot, I highly recommend this reader. It kicks the crap out of USB 2.0 readers.
Pretty glowing reviews, and with pre-UDMA enabled CompactFlash cards at that. Initial review: True Express Card PCIe Speed for Photographers. Second look: What a difference a card makes.

Unfortunately the latest batch of ICs (integrated circuits) for the ADP-MULTI5-PC were bad, and we cannot manufacture more until we have good ICs. We are looking at probably late-October before we are able to ship the ADP-MULTI5-PC. Alternatively we have two different products that might be suitable alternatives.
For 32-bit CardBus capable PC Card slots, we have the ADP-MULTI5-PC32. It supports the exact same memory cards as the ADP-MULTI5-PC and allows for faster data transfer.
For 16-bit PC Card slots we also carry the ADP-MULTI6-PC. This device is based on an older design and doesn't support the newer SDHC and SD Card 2.0 standards. If you are using the older style SD Cards, or any of the other cards it supports, you should be fine.
Our MotionFlash32 USB 2.0 based reader also handles SDHC (SD 2.0).
