PCMCIA card operates without using system slot - Brief Article

Electronics Times, Feb 26, 2001

Acal Electronics has introduced a PMC to PCMCIA adapter that allows a single Type I, Type II or Type III PCMCIA card to be used in a system without occupying a system slot. The MM-6180 made by Micro Memory can be used directly in any system with a PMC connection: VME, CompactPCI or PCI.

The use of removable flash, SRAM and hard drive PCMCIA cards provides versatility for applications that require stored data to be transferred to an off-site location. The adapter can be used as a high-speed bootable source for operating systems.

The adapter is said to offer quick access to PCMCIA cards through the front panel. It is software-configurable with no jumpers, and a 12V control switch is provided for flash memory programming.

Burn-in and running memory diagnostics check operation for 48hr while temperature cycling boards from 0 to 70 degrees C. The boards meet the requirements of PMC Specification Rev 2.1 and PC Card Standard 95.
