So my cd-rw drive died on my ancient laptop.
The computer is equipped with usb 1.0 and I was wondering if a usb 2.0 PCMCIA card would actually run at the 2.0 speed, or if it'd only run at the 1.0?
Im already buying a cheap external writer, to get by for now, and was wondering if I spent $10 for the 2.0 card if I could then take advantage of the drives faster speeds, or if I'd be limited to old speeds (4x write).

Are the card slots that magical? I see there are firewire cards too?
Man I hate computers
