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.
