1 Slot CardBus to PCI Expansion System
Get Out of the Office
and go mobile with the only solution that allows you to add PCI cards to notebook computers.
Add One PCI Card
The
most compact and portable method to add a single full or half-length PCI card to
increase the functionality of your notebook, and enable PCI-based applications
in various fields.
The Lifeline
MAGMA's
patented PCI Expansion Technology is incorporated into a Type II CardBus card,
which provides a 32-bit connection to your notebook, and extends the PCI bus
outside of your host computer. Our 1 to 1.5 meter flexible cable provides a
high-speed communication link between your notebook and our PCI Expansion
System.
Power Up Anywhere
For truly mobile professionals, a built-in DC-DC converter allows
the expansion system to be powered off of any user supplied 12-volt DC power
source (such as a battery or car lighter adapter.) An AC-DC power brick is
included with each system.
Stay Cool
A quiet fan
provides cooling to your card within the vented enclosure.
Travel Light
Weighing less than 2.5 pounds, choose from two compact metal
enclosures made to protect your valuable PCI card when you're on the
go.
Where is your office located?
For some, it is in an office building. For others, it may be
in a van, tank, hotel room, studio, laboratory, or manufacturing plant.
Fortunately, today's mobile computers provide more performance and flexible
options for professionals that work outside of a typical office environment.
Unfortunately, there are a number of professionals that remain reliant on
traditional desktop or stationary systems, since notebooks still do not provide
the type of functionality required for their PCI-based applications...that is,
until now.
With the increased robustness of portable computers, MAGMA's
patented 1 Slot CardBus-to-PCI Expansion System eliminates the need for a
desktop or stationary computer, and provides mobility to demanding professionals
in numerous fields?even for their most challenging applications. Now you can use
your favorite notebook computer in the same capacity as you would use a
full-size desktop machine.
MAGMA's 1 Slot CardBus-to-PCI Expansion Systems provide a
single full-length or half-length PCI slot in a separate enclosure (chassis)
that connects to a PC Notebook or Apple PowerBook (which do not have built-in
PCI slots) through a 32-bit CardBus slot. With MAGMA's patented PCI Expansion
Technology, everything installed in the enclosure actually acts as if it's
inside the notebook.
In addition, for users who require true "go anywhere"
portability, the 1 Slot is made to be powered off any user supplied 12-volt DC
power source (such as a battery or car lighter adapter.) The 1 Slot is shipped
with a 45W AC power brick, for those occasions when AC power is available.
Additional Features:
- Easy installation... install MAGMA CardBus interface
card into the CardBus slot of your portable computer, connect the cable, add
your PCI cards and power up.

interface card (PCIHIF68) is purchased separately.
- Non-Enclosed Board Sets
