• Tecra A4 and Win7 - problems with PCMCIA card driver

  I've recently updated my old laptop Tecra A4 - PTA42E - (in great condition however) for Windows 7 and it is now in the best shape ever except for the PCMCIA card. In fact, to have Windows 7 installed I had to rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files during the installation (to .old or .bak) otherwise the new operating system would not start. The same problem has been experienced by many other users Tecra A4 and the solution is available in a number of forums.

  Although I use no more than the PCMCIA card slot, I want to fix this for a reason: If, in the future, I need to re - install Windows 7 for some reason any on this laptop, I have to repeat the same process - rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf during installation, in addition, the new operating system does not start.

  I do not understand that the original drivers from the card slot (Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7, but it is there any updated driver that works for windows 7? And if there's a how can I replace the old drivers in my system so that in the event of re - install Windows 7 I will not have to go through the same process? TI site is no help, and Toshiba does not all drivers to download.

  Last but not least, if there is a driver available, I used the card slot for 2 ports USB 2 or 3 additional which are really necessary.

  Thanks to the forum, in advance

  Hello

  The pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files are part of the Windows System.
  This driver isn't provided by laptop manufacturer, but it is a Microsoft internal driver.

  You mentioned that the pilots of the original card slot Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7.

  To my knowledge, this driver does control not the PCMCIA location but this driver controls the card reader that supports the MMC card, SD card, card xd picture card, SM card, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro.

  However, the Tecra A4 is very old model of laptop. The driver will not be updated for this camera and it looks like Windows 7 drivers never had to be released the driver Toshiba UE

• Satellite A100-259 and PCMCIA card reader no longer works

  I have a Satellite A100-259, I've had for about a year with no problems... so far, the PCMCIA card slot reader seems to have stopped working.

  When I insert a card reader SD PCMCIA discover the laptop hardware as a "PCMCIA UNKNOWN_MANUFACTURE' and subsequently can not find the drivers for it. I tried a couple of different PCMCIA devices and get the same question every time, I checked also double the card reader works by trying it in PC laptop Toshiba-not to the woman.

  The PC is a XP/Vista installation start-up duel and I get the same question under each operating system. I also think that it may have started after I installed upgrading the BIOS to 2.20.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, b
  Kind regards.

  Try to access the BIOS and set the defaults.
  Don t forget to save the settings after the change.

  By the way; Are you trying to reinstall the PCMCIA driver?
  Go to the Device Manager and remove the PCMCIA computer location.
  Then restart the laptop and check if Windows detects and installs the removed slot.

  Good luck

• Satellite 105-S157: USB 2.0 via a PCMCIA card does not work

  I installed the pcmcia card with BIOS update V2.1 and work under WIN XP sp2.
  It seems to work normally in Device Manager, but when I plugged in the USB, it may not recognise.
  If I can access usb PCMCIA ports.

  This laptop does support USB 2.0?
  How can I make it work?

  Please help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is a brand new model Toshiba and I guess that it supports high speed USB 2.0.
  Sometimes, the operating system can not recognize external USB devices due to the limitation of power. The fact is that the USB port gives the 500mA. It is a standard value.
  If the USB device use a higher power, the OS cannot recognize and activated the device.
  In this case the external power supply is necessary. Another possibility is to use the USB hub with an external power supply.

• Satellite Pro 4320: cannot use PCMCIA card after update BIOS 2.70

  Hello!

  I'm using the Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 (SP 4320). With the very old BIOS (first) version 1.0, the system has worked well on LINUX (Ubuntu) and Windows XP. So I found the update of the BIOS (latest version on the toshiba Web site). I did update the BIOS version 1.0 BIOS version 2.7.

  Now, I can't use any PCMCIA card.
  Everything works fine, but I can't use two PCMCIA slots.
  The cards will be recognized, but the system says that there is a resource conflict.
  (WLAN/WiFi adapter) PCMCIA cards worked very well with the old BIOS version 1.0, but now it does not work.

  Windows XP says: 'conflict resource' and Ubuntu/Linux said after typing dmesg: "pccard gives wrong answer, for example."

  Please, help me!

  Someone got an older version of BIOS?
  My idea is to 'downgrade' the BIOS BIOS version 1.0 or version 1.x.

  I have to downgrade the BIOS to at least 2. 6.

  Bye,.
  Martin

  Have you tried installing WXP again using Toshiba Recovery CD?
  I mean it's so old model of laptop and I can't imagine that Toshiba will offer this update of the BIOS so long if there is a serious problem with it.

• Portege 3480CT: cannot use the 16-bit PCMCIA card

  Hello

  I had a problem with a PCMCIA card (new media wave jammer, 16-bit) on a 3480 with Win98 & XP.
  The card appears as an unknown device in the "remove hardware" - tool.

  In Device Manager it does not at all appear and Windows did not ask for the driver.

  It looks like a card damaged, but still, this card works fine in another laptop!
  The problem could be related to different areas of memory used by the Cardservice.

  The Cardservice of the 3480 ct seems not be configurable.

  What can I do?
  Thank you

  Hello

  The PCMCIA card doesn't need a driver!
  To my knowledge, you must check the settings in the BIOS!

  On the second page of the BIOS, you should try to change the configuration of device for all devices and in the section of PC card, you must set the controller to Cardbus/16-bit mode

  then save the BIOS settings.

• PROTECTED R100: How to start OS on PCMCIA card

  Long story short: I need to start an operating system (any OS - BACK/LINUX) on my R100 to something other than the HARD drive.

  Listed in the BIOS boot options are FDD (don't have - not sure if Toshiba even did), CDROM (mine is defective), network (I would rather avoid that road) and the HARD drive. The suboption HDD has "PC Card" and "HARD drive built-in" option.

  It would seem that the best option is to use the disk with the "PC Card" Option.
  I'm assuming that this means that the PCMCIA card slot and assuming that I can use a PCMCIA flash memory card.
  So a PCMCIA card with an OS bootable on the subject can be seen in Solution Explorer, however, trying to make it boot from it I get a message "insert system disk".

  My questions are:
  -I am correctly understand the BIOS option and the r100 is supposed to start out of a PCMCIA card, if you have selected the option "HDD/PC Card.
  -You have to do something special to make the bootable PCMCIA card?

  This PC is retired without a solution here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  JSM

  Hey Buddy

  The R100 may use the PCMCIA port to start the external PCMCIA CD/DVD drive and you can use this port to boot from external HDD PCMCIA.
  To be honest I have boot t n of the PCMCIA HDD but this should be possible.
  In addition, the operating manual must contain some details about this theme
  Did you check that?

  If this isn't it!

• Satellite 2410-413: USB2 PCMCIA card does not work

  Hello. This is my first time on a forum, and my English is bad.
  I tried to install a card PCMCIA 4 port USB 2 (hw & sw) on my Satellite 2410 413 in order to use a dongle of DTV (hw & sw).

  This will not work: ports seem to be declared straight into the computer, but in fact, a simple key memory 64 MB USB-2 [a Sony "micro-vault" key), won't work, and neither will the Winfast DTV dongle.]

  Paradoxically, both the key mem will work on any of the three USB-1 ports, and the DV dongle will light on any port USB-1. The PCMCIA 4 port USB 2 card is new. I can't locate the source of the problem.

  Could someone help me with this issue?
  Thank you in advance for your answer. Here it is (maybe?)
  Another way of formulating the question: how USB ports are managed by the system?

  Hello Rasta

  Sorry, but I think that this issue should be the right one for producer PCMCIA. Try to visit the support page. You might find answers.
  Believe me on this path it is not easy to say why this happens. Toshiba is perhaps responsible for the functionality of PCMCIA card, but not used the card.

  Good luck!

• PCMCIA card as a serial port RS232 on Satellite Pro 4200

  I think to use a PCMCIA card as a serial RS232 port. The program that I need to use runs under DOS and needs two serial ports. My question is that I need to run the program and the serial port to be recognized by the system. I have a satellite pro 4200 laptop PC series.

  Thank you

  Why on Earth if you want that?
  Your laptop computer with a serial port doesn't have it?

  Well for the serial ports are standard supported on Windows. In a back box that should be no problem.

  But pure back could be a problem.
  I guess you must also BACK drivers for your PCMCIA card...

• Portege M200 does not detect the Modem PCMCIA card

  I have the Portege M200, when I insert a PCMCIA card (LAN or wireless) the pc detects it ok but if I insert a modem PCMCIA ANY, as a standard 56 k modem, modem card v620 air verizon or a sierra wireless aircard 710, the pc does not detect any, nothing happens when I put it in or out.

  V620 Verizon is the card that I have to make it work as soon as POSSIBLE, others, I used for the test, it seems that modems do not work for some reason any on the PCMCIA.

  any help?

  If the WLAN card manufacturer supplied driver with this card please read manual how to install it on the right track. It is possible that the driver must be installed first.

  Sorry, but my opinion on the laptop PCMCIA port is OK and if you need support try to contact the manufacturer of the card. They should have enough experience with own products.

• PCMCIA card does not recognize the connection to the local network on Satellite Pro 4340

  Hello world

  I have 2 Satellite Pro 4340, running Win2K, SP4. I bought a card PCMCIA 10 / 100MB of Ultron (more or less no name :-))

  When you insert the card, Win2k recognizes the card, but when the I plug the network cable, it does not recognize the connection. Cable is fine. It seems there is no power on the PCMCIA card. I read on some forums that there is a problem with the Topic100 Card Bus driver and voltage. I see that many people have the problem but not where to find the driver for the problem :-/ I couldn't find a driver on toshiba support site. A

  ll have an idea, or better a link where I can download this driver? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance for your help, support and answers.
  Corey

  If this card needs a driver you will not find it on the download page of manufacturer of portable. You must check the card producer site.

  As you know in the world of computers, it has set different standards. Produced very often cheap are not designed for these standards, and you can have different problems. I recommend you to use high quality products.

• Qosmio G45-AV680 hangs up when I try to insert a PCMCIA card

  My laptop is Qosmio G45-AV680 with Vista 32.

  Is there someone with the same experience?

• LaCie FW 800 PCMCIA card low speed in Vista

  I have a pcmcia card from Lacie FW 800 - whith on my old Toshiba Qosmio gives me speeds of more than 50 MB per second read. Now with my nice new Satellite and Vista it barely reads @ 7Mbs and written to a pathetic 2Mbs. Any idea of before I get rid of Vista as a waste of time.

  Dermot

  Hello

  Well, it's not easy to tell if it s a card PCMCIA slot issue or Vista problem.
  But I noticed that some users have had a slow performance PCMCIA with Vista on laptop series different. So I have to say that it s a Visa problem.

  But it would also be interesting to know the performance with XP, then compare the two results.

• Satellite A65: No port I.Link - can I use an i-Link PCMCIA card

  I have laptop Toshiba A65. This laptop did not come with i-Link port. Now I want to connect the video device to this laptop, and for that I need i-Link port.
  Can I now purchase the i-Link card and configure it with my existing Toshiba A65?

  Hello

  You check user manual for port PCMCIA specifications appearing on the laptop.
  To my knowledge the laptop supports the cardbus 32-bit/PC-Card 16 - bit interface and only the PCMCIA Type II are compatible.

  I have goggled autour and found a lot of external PCMCIA cards that supports firewire and is compatible i-Link.
