8Petros [MOVING!!]Jeśli ktoś chciałby rozstać się z #ThinkPad #x220 i7, to ja bardzo chętnie nabędę. Może być bez RAMu, dysku i baterii, aby sprawny.
Also, poszukuję #ExpressCard z #USBc
IrishMASMSSome other #vcfw #vcfw2025 finds
#slackware #linux install CDs
#expresscard #smartcard reader

All good to have on hand for those #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing projects

The next #thinkpad on my #workbench is a #W510 – it has an #eSATA port as well as multiple #USB3 ports, #expresscard, #displayport, #smartcard, memory card reader, #DVD/#CDRW, with a max 16GM of #DDR3 #RAM so it can run #Win11 (if you are careful) or #linux with ease. This will be a good replacement for my workbench laptop for testing and #wiping #HardDrives and #SSDs
But: the processor is only an i7-Q720 1.6 Ghz
This will be a dog with #Windoz
So I am researching which & where to get a #CPU upgrade.
According to #thinkwiki https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W510 Some models came with an Intel Quad Core Extreme Processor i7-920XM (2.0GHz 1333MHz 8MB L3).
But wowzas the couple I found were expensive as all hell.
Any thoughts on
a) where to find one of these #CPUs at a reasonable cost; possibly locally in the SF bay area?
b) Is/are there other #CPUs that would work in the W510 motherboard that would provide more bang for the buck?
TIA!

HabrDaMAgeCard: как индустрия карт памяти SD воскресила DMA-атаки
Размеры медиа-файлов кардинально растут, а вместе с ними растут и требования к скорости носителей. Копировать сотни гигабайт RAW-изображений с обычной, даже высокоскоростной SD-карты стандарта UHS-II стало слишком долго. И вот жалобы фотографов на то, что кофе успевает остыть, пока все данные будут скопированы с карты, дошли до председателей SD Association и CompactFlash Association, и те приняли решительные меры: выпустили стандарт SD Express (и CFexpress ). Наша команда ( Positive Labs ) занимается исследованием безопасности программно-аппаратных систем и системного ПО. Поэтому мы внимательно наблюдали за развитием событий еще с 2018 года — с момента публикации стандарта, который обещал огромный прирост скорости за счет подключения карты к шине PCIe. Но мы следили не только за бенчмарками скорости, хотя она, конечно, внушительная. Наличие PCIe потенциально опасно из-за возможности доступа к памяти устройства, а это очень интересный вектор атак.Вот только до недавнего времени производители контроллеров и пользовательских устройств не спешили с поддержкой стандарта SD Express. Мы уже даже было обрадовались, что они научились на своих ошибках, и теперь не хотят давать внешним устройствам доступ к памяти (спойлер: нет ). А пока расскажем, почему уделяем столько внимания почтенной шине PCI.

Which is a shame, since this T430s runs both 10 and 11 really well with the max #16GB of #RAM - it boots up in seconds with a #1TB #ssd I installed. The #keyboard has a nice feel to it (even with the chicklet keys), and is wide enough but not a surfboard wide. The #USB3 and the #expresscard ports let me use this for tech projects as well as the browsing and job hunting I am currently focused on.
I lost count the number of negative nancy's in these threads with the answer to throw it out / upgrade to something new - the hardware is over 10 years old, yadda yadda. 🙄 Clearly they are not familiar with us #vintagecomputing folks, nor familiar with using an item until it completely falls apart.

Well, my first two #aliexpress experiences were shite.
I ordered an #expresscard to #pcmcia adapter - the shipping took forever, they could not find the address, and when it did arrive I received a Novatel #Wireless XCA-3 ExpressCard to PC Card Adapter. This card is only compatible with Novatel Wireless Products - no joy with other ExpressCards. Oh, they may show up in #Win10 but will not be identified correctly, use the wrong drivers, and will not work = worthless.
I liked how the expresscard was offset in the adapter, rather than in the middle. This is why I purchased it, to allow access for the second expresscard inserted in my #thinkpad
Thankfully, full refund & no need to ship back - donate/recycle.
The second was a purchase of a Tail Insertion Tester. After a week they canceled the order - and the replacement they offered to purchase at 2x the price!
Sorry, but #GTFO

Success! found an "Sonnet Tempo SATA Express Card 34 with 2 eSATA Ports" over on #eBitch aka #eBay
A good seller experience - timely shipping, arrived promptly - packing could be better though, wrapped in a #walmart #wallyworld bag inside a cardboard box? 🤦♂️
The #Expresscard was auto-detected in #windows10 on the #lenovo #R400 as a "Silicon Image SiI 3132 #SATALink Controller", drivers were pulled from online and installed, and I was wiping an old hard drive in my #eSATA drive dock in minutes.

anyone have any #PCCARD #expresscard sitting around, hopefully for #eSATA or #usb3 ? I'm looking for some with a #vintagecomputing project currently on my #workbench - #IBM and #lenovo #thinkpads
Shopping for them online has been problematic... and there are none on #craigslist in my area.

@AlanyG21 @fuchsiii @foone So nothing but budget, time and soldering or at least layouting skills prevent one from slapping an #RM500Q onto an adaptor and roll withit.

In fact, there are #M2 adaptors for #ExpressCard made by #ThinkMods that do this, and personally I'd just take something like an #LTE-#USB Stick and wire it up to the USB lines...
