Hi Speed USB

Cucullan · 2004-12-26 09:20:47

I got an external dvd writer for my laptop but it took me 35 minutes to burn a cd, haven't tried a DVD yet. I got a popup when I attached the drive saying "You must add a HIGH SPEED USB Host controller to this computer to obtain maximum performance" Can I get one of these for a laptop? and where?

Yes that long slot is the PCMCIA slot. Most laptops have two one above the other. That card should work fine for you.
