Introduction
Qio (pronounced "cue eye oh") is a universal media reader
& writer, eSATA host controller, and expansion chassis for
ExpressCard/34 and CardBus adapter cards. Included with
Qio is either the Sonnet Express Bus Extender PCIe adapter
card (for desktop computers) or the Sonnet PCIe Bus Extender
ExpressCard
/34 adapter (for notebook computers). Both adapter
®
cards are available separately for purchase.
Featuring two slots each for SxS
memory cards, Qio enables you to transfer data between cards,
between cards and computer, and between cards and attached
drives; you can even transfer data from two or more cards at
the same time. The included Sonnet Multimedia Memory Card
Reader & Writer ExpressCard/34 adapter reads from and writes to
Memory Stick
, MMC, SD and xD-Picture Card
and works in either of the SxS slots.

memory cards,
Qio's eSATA controller is based on Sonnet's Tempo
host controller, sharing the same functionality and drivers. Port
multiplier support enables Qio to control up to 20 drives (in four
drive enclosures). Qio is also compatible with single and dual
eSATA interface enclosures (such as Sonnet's Fusion F2).
Qio's SxS slots support ExpressCard/34 adapter cards, while the
P2 slots support CardBus adapters. Compatible adapter types
include eSATA, FireWire
TV tuner, USB, WiFi, and WWAN modem, and others. You may
use adapter cards at the same time as memory cards, however,
performance may be limited by the total bandwidth available
from your computer's PCI Express
Please take a few minutes to read this user's guide before using your
Qio; you will save time in the long run.
