Similar question for me.

I have a high quality sound encoder, PC card format - namely, Digigram VXPocket.

Anyone having an idea on an adapter to ExpressCard MacBook slot, and presumably an adequate driver, or should I return my MacBook to the reseller ?

PCMCIA is so old and slow that expressCard is faster and smaller, and its reletivly new so I would suggest waiting for companies to start making them using expresscard... there may be even ones already for PC/winblows only, that if someone out there that knows how to make drivers for these things so that they can work on a MBP using OS X then go for that.. but other than that, we will need to be more patient..

My Sprint rep told me that they will have an express card version of their Broadband card early in 2007. Until then, I am having to carry the rotten old Windows computer and the fabulous new MacBook Pro.
