Don't Throw Away Your Echo Indigo, PCI Overflow Solved!

It all started when I was shopping for a Micro SD card for my new RCA mp3 player.

I saw an ad for a PCI card which has a cardbus slot. You see when my laptop died, I got another one and discovered they changed the slot standard rendering my Echo Audio Indigo card useless. The card was only $20 including shipping so I decided on the spot to buy it. I happened to also have a firewire cardbus card and the first thing I wanted to do is try that because every time I use my firewire drive, it crashes my Scope when I use the Ambience. My Firewire was from the motherboard so I thought using a card would make a difference and it did. Now I have no more PCI overflow when using Scope and Ambience. Today is a good day. This is just a cheap HP AMD computer but it works much better than my old Intel computer I built 6 years ago. I have the Luna 2 and The Scope home in it. The Pulsar I and SRB I is upstairs in the old computer. Basically a very expensive doorstop. The only thing is I do not have word clock now. There is no space for it. I could drill a hole and mount it inside the case but I am not sure if the Pulsar Wordclock works on the Scope card. If anyone knows that would be great.

no, hes not using it in a laptop, i believe its one of those mini HP office PCs but with built in firewire, and then hes using a firewire cardbus reader.

you can check if the wordclock will go on the card just look and see if it has the same headers as the card its currently connected to.

Yes Neutron is right. I am using a laptop card on a pc. For no good reason other than I wanted the card for future purposes with the Echo Audio Indigo card. I hate to throw things away or sell on ebay. I could have simply bought a firewire card for the overflow problem which I was considering but this was on sale and multipurpose. It's not mini pc just an average presario.
