There's a bunch of these PCMCIA cards on ebay, with BC198 written on the label..

This one says it's powered by a VIA VT6421 RAID chipset. Does anyone have any experience with them? IF they are indeed the ones, a price sort shows them for less than $10 shipped.

Can anyone confirm this? I'll probably just go ahead and buy it anyway. I've already got a v6421 PCI card, but I'd rather be able to flash the dvd drives from my laptop.

Hey guys thanks for taking time out to become testers for various drives as this is the only way to find out what drives work with PCMCIA Sata cards for Laptops. I believe that the Benq can be flashed with JF 1.67 with a laptop if I'm not mistaken. I have seen other posts which confirms that they have indeed flashed their drive with that combination of devices. Please post your findings and share that info with all of the Scene.

Hey if it states that it is definitely a Via6421 card then I'd purchase this card. Remember that the Silicon Valley has the 3112 chipset that is compatible also.

Flashed my Hitachi 78 with one of these cards on my Toshiba Tecra using jungleflasher

the esata port should work if you have a nforce motherboard, my esata wouldn't work because my mobo isn't nforce... so im jsut waiting for my pcmcia card to come in the mail, hate being stationed overseas it takes like atleast a month to get mail
