I'm using a Digiface + Digital Audio CardBus interface (rev 0e) with
such an adapter using the standard Linux drivers. It is labelled
"ExpressCard/34 CardBus into ExpressCard" on the front and "Conrad
Electronic model: EK-108" on the back. lspci reports "PCI bridge: Texas
Instruments XIO2000(A)/XIO2200A PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev 03)" with
numeric ids (lspci -n) "0604: 104c:8231 (rev 03)".
I have also used that adapter successfully with a desktop PC by using a
another cheap PCI-E to ExpressCard adapter (this combination is even
uglier from a mechanical point of view). Note that I had less luck with
using a single PCI-E to CardBus/PCMCIA adapter in that case (the RME
interface wasn't recognized).
But the results may vary with other mainboards, adapters, and kernels.
- it is very ugly and dangerous as the adapter is big
and hangs from the
side of the laptop.
Yes, indeed.

Hi list,
I'm trying to find a way to use an RME Multiface mark I with an old RME
cardbus interface. My laptop doesn't have a cardbus slot but has an
ExpressCard slot. I've read old threads of people successfully using the
cardbus interface with a cardbus-ExpressCard adapter on Windows. Has
anyone done this on Linux? From what I read, what's needed is a an
adapter that requires no drivers.
Thanks,
Iain
