ExpressCard technology is emerging with faster speeds and better efficiency, connecting high-bandwidth peripherals to notebooks and other portables. The ExpressCard’s credit-card like format gives way to a smaller, faster and more desktop-friendly format. Gone are the days of laptops manufactured with PC Card slots and are swapped out with smaller, slimmer and thinner ExpressCard portals. Quatech’s ExpressCard line supersedes older technology and are engineered for new laptop models.

ExpressCard advantages include:

• Designed with PCI Express (PCIe) power control and design core rather than using USB controller interfaces, Quatech's SPPXP-100 parallel ExpressCard adds one true EPP parallel port to your laptop. As the next generation of I/O expansion for notebooks, ExpressCards support PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.1a.
• The new ExpressCard offers users an easy way to add hardware or media to existing systems. The latest technology provides desktop and mobile computer users a consistent, easy and reliable way to connect devices into their systems.

Product Selection Guide:

Quatech provides high performance connectivity for mobile computing, industry laptops or handheld computers. With Quatech PCMCIA cards, you can easily and effectively expand your ports for serial, parallel or synchronous serial applications. Ruggedized versions are available. Our PCMCIA Card Drives deliver reliable, high quality connectivity with easy installation and support.

PCMCIA Advantages:

• Quatech RS-232 and RS-422/485 asynchronous serial PCMCIA cards are an ideal solution for adding additional ports to a wide variety of portable systems. Because they share electronic fundamentals with native bus architectures such as PCI and ISA, they function exactly like standard COM ports and can be addressed as such by most application software.
• Quatech's single port RS-232 or RS-422/485 synchronous serial PCMCIA cards support asynchronous data formats as well as byte-oriented synchronous protocols such as BiSync, and bit-oriented synchronous protocols such as HDLC and SDLC. The card's robust design provides 1024-byte transmit and receive FIFOs, and a SCC with advanced internal functions including on-chip baud rate generators and digital phase-lock loop (DPLL) for recovering data clocking from received data streams.
• Quatech’s SPP-100 fully supports the IEEE 1284 EPP standard, and functions exactly like a computer’s native parallel port. Thus, unlike the many USB to parallel converters on the market, Quatech’s SPP-100 will work seamlessly with any hardware or software that requires either an EPP or standard parallel port. It is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems.
