Older laptop pc cards.

by chuckieu Sep 29, 2005 5:15AM PDT

Bob(or anyone else with the info), there is a electronic/computer swap-meet this Saturday where I live. Going to take my old Thinkpad 380D and see if I can find pcmcia cards (wireless, ethernet, media reader) to fit it. I know Type 2 cards fit. What I am unsure of is whether there are any 32-bit cards that are going to fit. Is it 16-bit only and I ignore 32-bit cards, or can I look at 32-bit cards also, hoping to find an older one? chuck

Will opt for 32 bit support enabling.. The only thing you can do is try these and some may, Or may not work.. What are you in need of? We have some old cards here w/out dongles you can have if youre stateside for the ship cost..
