Adapter puts Compact Flash in low-profile designs

Adding Compact Flash Bluetooth connectivity to a low profile PC is no longer a problem than thanks to a novel P312 PCI-to-CF card slot.

Adding Compact Flash Bluetooth connectivity to a low profile PC is no longer a problem than thanks to a novel P312 PCI-to-CF card slot from Elan.

Currently the only PCI-to-CF Card adapter on the market, the P312 has been specially designed to conform to the MD1 profile specifications.

The P312 is part of Elan's expansive range of PC and CF card adapters and designed to keep one step ahead of the ever-changing networking connection requirements.

The unit features a compact Flash Type II ejector which means it can also accept WLAN 802.11g CF cards when they emerge, ensuring a future-proof solution for the end customer.

The neat design completely avoids the problems of trailing wires.

This latest card slot design has concentrated on optimised performance, easy "plug-and-play" installation, made simple with the supplied auto-installation disk.

Because of these advantages, there are market indications that the P312 will be ideal for point-of-sale terminals, where the smaller PC footprint and small size of the CF cards are as important as a wire-free connectivity.

Elan's pricing policy means that costs over the whole range are deliberately kept at a highly competitive level, and comprise arguably the widest selection of PC and CF Card slots in the world.

All of the slots support a wide range of cards.

Several of the Elan models have been adopted as the card adapter of choice because of their proven reliability record by a number of major companies in the US networking industry.
