Item Condition:

Genuine AVerMedia AVerTV Cardbus Notebook TV Tuner & Video Capture Card (Model: E501R). This is a rare New Old Stock (NOS) vintage computing component from 2004.

The outer cardboard window retail display box was opened strictly to view, inspect, and photograph the item for this listing. The metallic Cardbus expansion board, gold-plated interface connection pins, and underlying circuitry are completely brand new, zero-hour, and have never been slotted into a notebook

PC or deployed in a field setup.

Included Components (100% Complete Open-Box Kit):

• AVerMedia AVerTV Cardbus Interface Card

• Audio/Video S-Video & Composite input cable adapter loom

• Earphone adapter cord

• Original Printed User Installation Manual & Quick Start Guides

• Original Software Installation CD-ROM (Drivers, TV Utility Application)

• Original Window Display Cardboard Retail Box

Please Note Packaging Cosmetic Flaws:

• Handwritten Markup: The front face of the yellow cardboard frame features a prominent handwritten black felt marker label reading "PCMCIA" right above the brand logo [see image].

• Inventory Stickers: The box front features a green tracking sticker reading "G26" [see image].

• Header Scuff: The black plastic structural antenna endcap protruding from the card has an old orange retail price sticker that is partially scraped and worn down.

• The outer packaging displays standard light vintage shelf rubbing, minor edge creasing, and storage aging.

⚠️ RETRO COMPATIBILITY DISCLAIMER — PLEASE READ:

• This is a legacy early-2000s 32-Bit PCMCIA CardBus Laptop Expansion Card. It WILL NOT fit or function in modern notebooks (modern laptops utilize thin USB dongles or express card tracks; they do not possess wide, deep legacy PC Card slots).

• Minimum System Requirements: Requires a legacy laptop featuring a 1.0 GHz or faster Intel Pentium III/M or AMD processor, an available open PCMCIA CardBus slot, a functioning CD-ROM drive to boot the accompanying media disc, and an active Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system configuration [see image].

• Broadcast Format Notice: This card features an analog RF coaxial tuner input port [see image]. Because analog over-the-air television broadcasts were phased out globally years ago, the RF coax port requires an external converter box or modulator channel to read modern digital signals. It functions beautifully as a standalone direct S-Video or Composite video capture board for retro gaming consoles or analog camcorders.

• Buyer Technical Responsibility: Please consult your retro notebook system parameters to ensure your build accommodates a 32-bit Cardbus module prior to purchasing. No legacy system driver hosting or technical software troubleshooting support is provided.

• Fraud Prevention: To safeguard transactions against component harvesting, board swapping, or accessory skimming return schemes, the factory retail UPC block (795522959911), the custom tracking code block (31400 6030), and the laser-etched internal hardware matrix identifiers stamped directly onto the rear aluminum casing panel have been thoroughly logged, photographed, and recorded prior to shipping [see image].
