This is a PCMCIA adapter card, whereas the RME card is guaranteed to be
CardBus. PCMCIA 'is' ISA, whereas CardBus *is* PCI. CardBus adapter
cards start at about $70 and go up from there. I know, I've been
looking for *any* adapter that can take a 3.3v PCMCIA (not cardbus)
card, and it seems that only CardBus adapters will do so (without
hardware mods).
