We recommend the following PCI internal PC card readers if you try to use the 3G data card on a desktop PC. If your laptop or desktop PC already has the ExpressCard slot, you can use our single-slot ExpressCard Slot Adapter for your PCMCIA 3G cards.
Otherwise, please go to here to check other options.

PCI internal readers/adapters:

Most of the wireless cards on the market now are 32-bit cardbus cards so you have to use a PCI-based internal 32-bit PC card reader like PCD-110CS, PCD-RP-202CS, PCD-101CS, P222, etc. listed below. 

The success rate of these PCI-based internal PC card read-writers  for Verizon or Sierra Aircards or Kyocera or Novatel, or Qualcomm, Sprint EVD, etc. wireless cards is about 95%. The failure is due to a  complex combination of your PC hardware, it's BIOS, your O/S setup and your wireless modem driver. Windows 98, ME & XP normally has fewer problems than Windows 2000.
