That doesn't make much sense that it would care about PCI slot numbers. I found a Memory Card Explorer for RICOH XP DEMO screenshot online which shows a dialog box for including or excluding PC Card Slot 1 through Slot 8. I assume that is referring to the physical PC Card slots into which you insert PC Cards, which is a completely separate numbering space than the PCI slot into which the adapter card is installed. Most likely you would only ever have one or two PC Card slots, controlled by a single adapter card. I suppose you could get as many as 8 PC Card slots if you had multiple adapters installed. > The mother board I tried it on and was able to actually get the program to > start under Windows XP with no memory hurdles is a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H. > Unfortunately for some reason the PCI slot closest to the CPU socket is > marked PCI Slot #12.

Again, that doesn't make much sense to me that the adapter driver or the software would care about which PCI slot that the adapter is installed in. > I don't have to buy the Ricoh Memory Card Explorer software as there is a > full working 30 day trial version (which I have). Not a problem. Is the Demo version of Ricoh Memory Card Explorer software available to download somewhere on the net? I might be curious to try installing it some time to take a look, instead of just making guesses about how some of it works.
