CP 5512 and profibus

[Ben]

OK, so I have this CP5512 I used to configure and download to Profibus nodes with my old laptop. My new laptop does not have PCMCIA slot, so question 1) is there any proven USB adapter that worked with CP5512? I still have the old laptop but the Siemens software are on a virtual machine (much cleaner and safer option I learn over my many years of struggles with various make of software). so question 2) IS there a way to access the PC card from Virtual machine? So far I get "can't do" response but I want a confirmation from my own intellectual community before giving up that option. I really want to avoid loading all necessary software on host and then transfer of licences etc..
