Need help/advice: USB2.0 cameras and PCMCIA cards?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
John, I'm running my Orion Starshoot DSI on an IBM Thinkpad T-22. (which comes with USB 1.1 ports)
I'm using a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card, and all works fine.

Question:

What USB cable are you using when trying these devices? Make sure you use certified USB 2.0 cables...


Also, that the drivers are not "Digitally Signed" does not matter, they should still work fine.


Clear skies!

I took the liberty to resize the image, as the one you posted will force people to scroll too much, and you end up not appreciating the WHOLE PIC... wink
