Great product! September 23, 2008 Robert Yi (Cambridge, MA USA) Great product! The quality is superb, and, I believe people only complain that it doesn't work because the device can only provide so much phantom power to your peripherals. However, it does function with devices requiring less power, like a wireless keyboard/mouse combination or an externally powered ext. hard drive. Both work flawlessly!
It does protrude a bit, but that's pretty expected.
Working Fine May 22, 2008 A. Hanna Some of the comments have information that is not accurate, stated as if it applies to all machines with Intel chipsets.
I'm running Win'XP w/SP3. IBM ThinkPad T40 with an Intel 82801 chipset.
The IOGEAR installed fine and is working with a Seagate 500GB USB2 drive, with absolutely no issues.
Hope that helps others considering this device.
Terrible Device May 18, 2008 Michael J. Titera (Parker, Colorado) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First off, it's bulky so it won't fit in my dual PCMIA slot if I am using another PCMIA card at the same time. Second, if you are going to use this device with an iPod, you need to buy the power cord (not included) for this device. Otherwise, it does not provide enough power to interact with your iPod.
Great Product April 9, 2008 Margaret M. Patterson (North Aurora, IL USA) I bought the IOGEAR Cardbus for my Dell Inspiron 8100 computer (three-plus years old) because the computer's USBs were all kaput. This product works flawlessly; I've had no problems, and my Dell is working like a champ. (Or at least it's working as well as it ever could.) I highly recommend this product.
Freezes Dell Inspiron 8100 February 13, 2008 J. Bujold (South Florida) Did not work for me. I have a Dell Inspiron 8100, built in Q4 2001. When I insert the USB cable for an external disk (USB 2.0) the computer freezes. Unfreezes only when I eject the PC card. With some playing with the timing between powering-up the external disk and inserting the USB cable I sometimes can get the disk to communicate, but only at USB 1.1 bit rates. Tried loading the drivers from IOGear and made sure all my drivers were up to date (via MS Update). Had to use my internal USB 1.1 port to clone my disk.
