Question about A D S GBR-101 (GBR101) Serial Adapter

Techgear 3-port 1394 FireWire CardBus

I bought 3-port 1394 FireWire Cardbus card and plugged it into the PCMCIA slot on my laptop (hp zv5340us) running Windows/XP Service Pack 2. It is not recognized automatically, and I don't know how to cause it to be recognized. When I attach a device to it with the firewire cable, I get nothing -- no recognition, no activity. HELP!

Coach Tim:
I ran the "Add Hardware" wizard, and it did not help. The "Properties" said "This device is working properly." But it is not. I don't think I know how to "enable the PCMCIA Card slots;" can you suggest the procedure?
Thanks, Jim

Coach Tim: It IS a TI controller. Any idea how I should proceed now? Thanks, Jim

Jim, Have you run the add hardware wizard? Are your pcmcia card slots enabled? If not in Control Panel then in the BIOS? Good Luck, Tim

Hey Jim, Heres a juicy chunk of info about your machine sounds like your problem;

Description
PCMCIA cards that are inserted into the notebook may not work. The card may be displayed in the Device Manager with an exclamation mark. If the card is a wireless networking adapter, it may fail to connect to a network.
Solution
To determine of you have this issue, look in the Device Manager in Windows under the listing for PCMCIA Adapters. If the device listed is an O2 Micro controller or OZ6912, contact HP service and support for further assistance.
If the listing in the device manager is for a Texas Instruments controller then this issue does not apply to you.
To automatically determine whether you have the specified issue or not, use HP Instant Support to check your notebook. Use the link below to start the instant check.

Got old toshiba laptop to use as portable graphic runs windows98

Your old Toshiba laptop most likely does not have a firefly port.
The only way to use your firefly device on the Toshibe is to purchase a firefly PCMCIA adapter card and plug it into the Toshiba's PCMCIA slot and install the card driver.

I need to conect a fire wire to hp pavilion dv7

I can't recall on that model but I don't think they come standard with Firewire port.

You can get a USB adaptor but they are slow, slower then USB.

Your laptop probably had a PCMCIA slot on it that you can plug a Firewire card into. This is your solution:

Firewire

Hi there, I am fairly sure that PCMCIA card will fit in it.

Have a look at this picture.

The slot you looking for is on the top right of the picture, there is a lil button u press in, it will pop out, push it again and it will eject a sort of blank card, this is make sure nothing accidentally gets into the laptop when a card is not in use.

Hope it helps
