In my two IBM Thinkpad notebooks was broken when one of the two USB first shot and the network connection. Full Vorfreunde I ordered the DELOCK PCMCIA CardBus to 2x USB 2.0 slim, so I put them together could connect and operate parallel with CardBus PCMCIA my network card. Unfortunately, I realized that this DELOCK was recognized under Windows XP, but I could not appeal to a USB stick and no USB mouse. On Windows XP, it is not because I different Linux distributions inform of Live CD (Ubuntu and Knoppix) tried with the same negative result. As you connect various USB sticks I had also ruined the dataset in two because the files stored there were broken after the withdrawal from the DELOCK PCMCIA CardBus to 2x USB 2.0 Slim Slot. I could only by a new partition on another computer revive. In order not to bury the hope entirely, I tried the DELOCK PCMCIA CardBus to 2x USB 2.0 Slim still on my Acer laptop with the better result because the Cardbus has been detected there properly and I can also be used now. Finally from me a bad buy because I 2x USB 2.0 Slim eventually wanted to use on my defective IBM Thinkpad The Delock PCMCIA CardBus.
