Hi everybody, just gotta quick question,
On my usb 2.0 pcmcia card (2 plug), there is a power adapter hole in between the usb slots, what is this used for? is it even necessary ? I thought pcmcia slots were self powering ?

Also, i have a 4x burner (...i know....primitive) and alot of my discs are only burning at 2x MAX, and this is what happens on like 4x discs, and also, i cant burn any media above 4x, Ive heard that even if you get 8x discs, you cant still burn em at 4x.... not in my case, very rarely will i find a brand that is 8x and can burn on my burner (so far only maxell will burn at 2x, but they go up to 8x, and i got a 4x burner, what gives ?). Now i have like over 200 -r 8x DVD's memorex and GQ that are worthless to me, Does this have anything to do with that power inlet on my usb 2.0 pcmcia card ?

Sorry if this is a little confusing, Ive been up for 51 hours and am about to go sleep for a good day or two in a while, thanks in advance to all of ya.

My burner is NEC_DVD_RW 1300a..... i believe
