My Vaio has a S400 4-pin i.Link connector but only USB 1.1, so I bought a Belkin PCMCIA 2-port USB 2.0 adaptor. Both items recognised and installed fine, but any attempts to write to the drive via the USB 2.0 results in a system freeze and occasional fatal errors. Using the Firewire connector and 4-pin to 6-pin cable doesn't even get a response from the Vaio, and I've also tried it on a friend's laptop via the same methods. Drive works fine via USB 1.1, just slowly. I'm worried that there's a problem with my PCMCIA slot, as I've some system slowdown when reading from a Compact Flash adaptor in the past. Does anyone have any experience of any of the above?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Jun 2004 08:55:51 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-srx51p-a-pcmcia-firewire-problems/m-p/42923#M128334 jonyoung 2004-06-08T08:55:51Z Re: Vaio SRX51P/A PCMCIA & Firewire Problems https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-srx51p-a-pcmcia-firewire-problems/m-p/42924#M128335 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have had a LaCiE drive, and I haven't been impressed with the performance with VAIOs.<BR /><BR />I ended up selling it.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Jun 2004 14:06:58 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-srx51p-a-pcmcia-firewire-problems/m-p/42924#M128335 kee-lo_ 2004-06-08T14:06:58Z Re: Vaio SRX51P/A PCMCIA & Firewire Problems https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-srx51p-a-pcmcia-firewire-problems/m-p/42925#M128336 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Any further advice...?
