[QUOTE="Jim, post: 6600"] I don't think so! The software that is used to update the CAM must have been written to address the pcmcia bus but the CI module is connected to the DVB card. In the past I have seen PCMCIA adapters for desktop pc's but not recently but they are proably still available. Why not use an old notebook pc? However, I am not sure about the long term aspect of this method anyway. The CAM's use flash memory that has a lifetime of about 1000 re-writes and the CAM costs £80. Furthermore rewritable CAM's are no longer available. The alternative is to use a wafer card which costs from £8 to £15. You need a programmer as well but that costs about £60. Jim [/QUOTE]
