TH17654B - Methods and devices to provide an optional card that is electrically connected to the control card. - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention provides an adapter for use with PCMCIA cards in desktop computers. Which has at least one card slot and one bay The adapter has a logic card that is shaped to insert into the computer card slot. The logic card has logic in it. To convert the PCMCIA bus topology of a PCMCIA card to a desktop computer configuration in a two-way configuration, there is at least one PCMCIA card slot on the logic card that is connected to the first logic card. The external connectors on the logic card are connected to one end of the Multiple selectable and adaptive cables An optional card with at least one PCMCIA card is provided, which is shaped to insert into a nay accessible from Outside of the computer The second set of connectors on the expansion card connects. With the opposite end of the flexible, multi-conductor cable. A second set of auxiliary card conductors is connected to one (or more) PCMCIA card slots, where capacitors are sometimes connected between some conductors. Minimal and maintained pressure rating As specified on the additional card in order to reduce distortion Of the signal received from the flexible conductors on the add-on card.
