I am using PCMCIA to APIB to control my AP system two cascade under winxp. The PC is celeron with PCMCIA slot and thus is running very slow. One way is to use a PCI to PCMCIA adapter if PC is to be upgraded. I just have one i5 – 3570K with 8GB ram and ITX Mother Board and thus no PCI slot!
Recently I saw a old AP USB to APIB adapter on ebay for about US$350 and thus I think it is time to upgrade the speed of the AP system.
Here is some photos inside the adapter.
USB interface – Cypress CY7C68014A-128AXC
74ATC240 / 74ACT245
4420P-G01 / 4816P
See photos for details.
