PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE Drive (front-mounted)
The PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE drive is a PCMCIA
card drive that enables any PC compatible computer with an IDE
controller to read and write PCMCIA ATA Flash, ATA hard disk drive
and CompactFlash cards. It automatically converts the signal from the
68-pin PCMCIA connector to a 40-pin IDE connector thus allowing a
computer’s BIOS to access a PCMCIA card in the same manner as an
IDE drive. Operating system card and socket services are not needed
and the drive does not require the installation of a device driver.
The PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE drive is the same size as
a 3.5” floppy disk drive so it can be mounted in the front of a
computer’s case. This gives you convenient access to the drive.
Installation is easy - simply mount the drive in a free 3.5” drive mount
on the front of the computer, connect the IDE cable and then connect
the standard power cable from your computer’s power supply to the
power connector at the rear of the drive.
PCM-3116PC/R PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE Card (rear mounted)
The PCM-3116PC/R PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE card is a PCMCIA
card drive that enables any PC compatible computer with an IDE
controller to read and write PCMCIA ATA Flash, ATA hard disk drive
and CompactFlash cards. It automatically converts the signal from the
68-pin PCMCIA connector to a 40-pin IDE connector thus allowing a
computer’s BIOS to access a PCMCIA card in the same manner as an
IDE drive. Operating system card and socket services are not needed
and the drive does not require the installation of a device driver.
The PCM-3116PC/R PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE card is the same size as
a half-size ISA interface card. It installs into an ISA expansion slot of
your computer though the signal connections pass through an IDE
connector on the card. The PCM-3116PC/R is an excellent choice for
computer users who do not have a free 3.5” FDD bay on the front of
their computer chassis or for those who do not have to frequently
access the card. Installation is easy - simply mount the drive in a free
ISA slot on the rear of the computer, connect the IDE cable and then
connect the standard power cable from your computer’s power supply
to the power connector at the rear of the drive.
