M1210 and Duel Adapter
I just bought a Duel Systems Adapter so that I can use A PCMCIA card with my nifty ExpressCard Slot, and I cannot get this thing to recognize it for the life of me. I've installed the latest driver, and everytime I plug the adapter in I get an icon asking me if I want to install a driver for a "PCI to CardBus Bridge". The status icon for the adapter tells me it is plugged in and working properly, however, when I plug anything into it, it doesn't recognize that I have done it. Also, when I check the adapter on the device manager, it says that it is not working correctly, and gives me an Code 1 error (which I believe is for not having the driver installed). I'm thinking that the laptop is not recognizing the adapter for what it is, therefore, it is not allowing the driver to do it's job. Any ideas?!?
- Did that...it's still not working. I can't even get to the point that I put a card into it yet, it doesn't even recognize that the adapter is plugged in. In the device manager, it doesn't even call it an adapter, it has a little question mark by it and calls it a "PCI to Cardbus Bridge" as I mentioned before. I'm stumped, and the techies at Duel Systems are too.
- Have you tried removing and reinstalling the drivers for the computers "Express Card Slot"..?"The status icon for the adapter tells me it is plugged in and working properly,"Do you know for sure the slot works,....tried a regular Express card.....?Have you tried the Duel Adapter in another computer.....?If all else fails I think I would Return for Exchange...!Larry

Windows XP doesn’t seem to recognize that the DuelAdapter is plugged in.
First check to make sure the A-B switch on the underside of the ExpressCard insert is set to the B
position. If it is set in the B position and the adapter is still not recognized by the operating system, then
try the following:
1. Unplug the DuelAdapter. The adapter must remain unplugged until after Windows XP launches.
2. Change switch setting to the A position using the tip of a pen or a paperclip.
3. Reboot your computer.
4. Plug in the adapter.
5. Check adapter status with D logo in the system tray.
6. Insert your PCMCIA card.
4. I’ve installed the DuelAdapter driver software, but my PCMCIA card doesn’t work. What are my
options?
Contact your PCMCIA manufacturer and see if there is an updated driver for your PCMCIA card for
Windows XP or Mac OS X 10.4.8.
