The long awaited DuelAdapter has finally arrived on Australian shores. Convert your PCMCIA card into an ExpressCard instantaneously! For those of you who have just acquired a new laptop or MacBook, you may find that all of your existing PCMCIA devices have been rendered useless overnight due to the lack of a PCMCIA slot in your late model notebook.  Or if you are a high-end video professional or enthusiast, you may simply want a hassle-free way to connect Panasonic’s mammoth P2 memory card directly to your ExpressCard endowed MacBook.

So how do you stick your PC card into one of those fancy new ExpressCard slots? Some may try brute force but find that it is detrimental to the health of both your card and laptop. Thankfully, some smart chaps have devised the DuelAdapter to solve this very problem. Designed to connect any PCMCIA card to any ExpressCard slot seamlessly, the DuelAdapter even allows full speed transfers at rates five times faster than USB 2.0, speeds previously unheard of via the PCMCIA interface.

Before you plunge hundreds into buying new ExpressCards to replace your existing PCMCIA gadgets, take a look at the DuelAdapter. Available now at Wired Sky (www.wiredsky.com.au)
