I have a T60 that I have installed Win 7 on. The PCMCIA CardBus port works, but the Express Card port does not. What driver should I use.
The driver that is installed is from MS dated 6/21/2006 version 6.1.7601.18231.
That's interesting. Looking at these drivers brings back memory of an error message
about an ataport.sys something or other.

The CardBus controller is a TI PCI-1510
-> Driver File Details
PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Controller
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\atapi.sys 07/14/2009 21,584
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\ataport.sys 08/05/2013 133,056

File Version: 6.1.7600.16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255)

Are these the correct drivers?

You don't need a driver for it. It is simply a connector routed to one of the PCIe root ports and one of the USB ports of your chipset. The chipset drivers and built-in Windows USB drivers cover all that.

If it doesn't work, it means that either the connector is faulty, or the device you connected to it is faulty.

I don't know why, but this driver seems to work: RtsPStor_6.2.8400.28124.zip.
It is said that this s/w is from Realtek.

Probably because it is the right driver to whatever you connected to the ExpressCard port.

That seems logical.
I've been using a CF card and now I have one SDHC and one microSDHC Card plus
adapter. And now they are all read and writable.
