Please log in for more thread options I have this laptop with a PCMCIA slot, and frankly I haven't used one of those since the early days of wireless networking. Looked at some flash memory and hard disks, but they all were very large in physical size and small in storage size. Is there any hardware out there that can restore the slot to former glory? -- Regards Zadig Galbaras (nick) www.tresfjording.com ----- | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Well, if you can't find anything else to use the slot, I guess you can use it to keep the business cards <bg>
Me, I have never used it either, but it won't bother me a bit and never wonder whata do with it (until you mention it so I came up with the idea to keep the business cards). | |||||||||||||||||||

That idea is like thinking we are all compelled to fill every PCIe, PCI, USB, etc, port on any computer. Leave the slot empty till you have a need to add specific functionality, THEN see if that is supported on PCMCIA. | |||||||||||||||||||
