Checking CardBus
Host Controller on a PC

if your notebook supports CardBus PCMCIA. To confirm whether
your CardBus host controller has been installed in your notebook
and works properly use the following procedures:
1. Click on Start, select Settings, then click on Control Panel. Next
click on the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon from Control Panel.
2. If the PC Card Properties show at least one empty socket, this
means PC Card support is installed properly on your notebook
PC. You can proceed to install the USB BusPort™Mobile.
