PCMIA extender Diy (((Help))
Hello every Body
So just wondering if it's possible and cost effective to make my own extender as I have looked online and price wise I'm looking at £35 to £50 If it is possible what parts do I need to do this. Sam |

What sort of extension were you thinking of? You'll need the two connectors and a PCB to mount each on as a minimum for a short extension (like a couple of inches). Beyond that, a ribbon cable and buffers for the data lines would be a good idea (the address lines are already buffered). 74LS245s or similar should do the job.

Nice! Good to know it's doable up to 20cm - that might be enough for most people's requirements.

From my tests it turns out that maximum cable length depends on kind and model of PCMCIA card connected. For example my PCMCIA to SD card adapter worked on 25 cm cable, while network card didn't. The same network card passed all tests on 15 cm cable.
