PCMCIA type I/II, Card Bus, Express Cards? Please help..:(

I have an old Dell Laptop (model: Inspiron 700m), and has a PCMCIA slot Type I/II in it.

1) Specifications for the Express Card adapter above:

MY QUESTION:

I would like to ask whether this will WORK?

The detail of the adapter above says that it is fully compliant with USB2.0 specifications, but it DID NOT mention if I can also install a USB3.0 Express Card in there.

So, please help whether I can install the USB3.0 Express Card using the adapter mentioned and specs of the laptop (PCMCIA type I/II) interface.
