Can anyone recommend a PC Card adaptor (with source and lnik if possible) for a desktop computer that is P2 compatible? I use them just fine on the laptop, but the desktop is where the editing horsepower is.

Thanks
 
What specific computer with what specific OS are you using?

When you state that you "use them just fine on the laptop," what are "they" and what laptop with what OS are you referring to?
 
Sorry, "them" is the P2 cards. The desktop & laptop are Win XP.

Ideally, I'm looking for an adaptor that will allow me to use PC cards from the front of the machine (something that fits in a drive bay for example) instead of the back. I saw a couple on newegg, but they were all accessed from the rear of the machine. It;s difficult to use that when the machine is under the desk.

Get about 2 GB/min offload.

Keep in mind that you'll have to update the P2 drivers to recognize it.

I read the info:
