Has anyone used an external PCMCIA card adapter for capture?

I'm in the process of trying out an ExpressCard 34 adapter for PCMCIA CardBus cards. I've only used each external device for a few minutes, but here are the applications and adapters I've tried.
The adapter is from StarTech.com, and is a CB2EC. This adapter leaves the entire PC card sticking out from the side of the computer, so mechanically it is subject to damage. One company makes an ExpressCard adapter with a cable that I will probably try.
These trials were on a MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz, which was booted with Windows XP Pro, SP2. AirMagnet BlueSweep runs with the Apple Bluetooth hardware.

AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer 7.6 with Ubiquiti SRC adapter ran for about 20 minutes and locked up. The Ubiquiti adapter software seems to run, and AirMagnet doesn't promise this combination will run, but there's hope for tweaking, since I pushed all the buttons and exercised it while it was running. Also, Windows WZC was running, as well as the Ubiquiti client software.
