ADS Dual Link Cardbus Card (DLX-181)

Works on D620 latitude running XP service pack 3. Needed firewire connection for Canon Elura video recorder transfer. transfer of data works well for what it is.

Firewire and USB 2.0 connectivity both work fine on my Mac OS 10.2.8 Powerbook. Firewire also works fine on my Windows XP Pro HP Laptop. HOWEVER, USB 2.0 does not work at all on the XP Pro (SP1) system; it totally crashes everytime. USB 1.1 does work ok through the cardbus on the XP system; only USB 2.0 fails. I spent a few hours with ADS tech support. They were friendly, but could not solve the problem. I assume it is a USB 2.0 driver issue or conflict. Yes, I downloaded the most recent drivers. Very frustrating.

Purchased the unit and it works great! Couldnt be happier with it.....didnt have as many ports on my notebook as i wanted and this card allowed me to do that along with adding firewire.

Using an XP SP2 laptop, the card wouldn't work with a new USB 2.0 device. I tried it with and without the latest drivers provided by ADS Tech. My laptop experienced multiple bluescreens and device lockups. The laptops built-in USB 1.1 works just fine the entire time, it was just slow (as would be expected). I've restored the laptop and am going to try a USB 2.0 card different manufacturer. Two-thumbs down for the DLX-181.

I am very upset with this product. Gives me dumping error and/or can not detect either of my external drive; Seagate and Acomdata... Very very upset with this product. BOooo

I could not get this card to work AT ALL on my Compaq Presario 2100. Not the USB, not the firewire, nothing...
