I have a compaq presario 2100 note book with a external benq 16x dl burner running off usb 2.0 through a pcmcia card and i can only get speeds of about 0.48x it takes my about 2 hours to burn a dvd
i tried two diferent cards uninstalled and reinstalled all my drivers used 2 diferent usb 2.0 cables 4 diferent types of media i bought the benq because my old burner was doing the same thing and i thought it was a hardware issue but i guess it was not
any help on my little mystery will be great
thanks

You have done a good job trouble shooting the issue. You pretty much covered all of the bases.
What software programs are you using? What drive does the notebook have built-in? Who is the maker of the motherboard? Is the BIOS up-to-date?
To get alot of information about your system, use this free program:

can you try the burner on another computer to see if it is problem or not especially if can use the usb pc card so as to isolate the drive & card from laptop

i used the burner on another computer and it worked fine but the other computer did not have a pcmcia slot in it i tried two brand new cards and they both did the same thing so i dont think it is a card issue

You need to read it completely. Not just the first page. Please take the time. Thanks.
Craig from Ahead Software USA, makers of Nero stated many facts also in that thread.

hi,
I have a persario 2100 and also have the same problem. The PCMCIA doesn´t work either with a Conceptronic PCMCIA USb2.0 card either with a wireless US Robotics Pcmcia card. I explain my problem to Compaq the 7th of February and they have been doing somoe tests but with no results. We tryed to re-install the OS and update to service pack 1a but still no results. The support person said that they have to analyse the problem to give a result.
I'm waiting for a response. If anyone have some tips to share please do.
Regards to all
Tiago

If you say that your burner runs at the same speed whether it is through your USB 1.1 on your Laptop or your PCMCIA USB 2.0 card, then the card is not giving you your 2.0. It's either the software that came with the card, or the drivers for the card, or windows drivers for USB 2.0. Very simple then. Take one step at a time and go from there now.
