Right? I want to buy a PC-Card (since there are no 16bit PCMCIA cards that do "G") which is supported on OS/2 so I don't have to lug my ASUS 330GL around. One sorta off-topic comment: I was just reading that PCCard devices are on their way out and being replaced on most new laptops by something called ExpressCards. So, is it just a matter of time before this will be the way to add a NIC rather than a PCCard? And, does anyone know if there is support planned for ExpressCard devices? That's a good question. I don't know enough about the physical architecture of ExpressCards to know whether we have OS-level support as yet. That said, here's some interesting stuff: http://www.expresscard.org/web/site/qa.jsp. ThinkPad T60's have a combination bay: The ExpressCard slot is on top, and the PC Card slot is on the bottom. ExpressCard/34 is 34mm wide (standard for notebooks) and the ExpressCard/54 is 54mm wide (desktop format?). These cards use either PCI Express architecture or USB 2.0 architecture, so I suppose it is possible that we have support in OS/2 already, but as I haven't been able to get eCS to properly install on a T60 as yet (got past the SATA hard drive issue by specifying "Compatibility" SATA mode in BIOS, but I get a trap at the first reboot during install which I haven't yet diagnosed), I can't say whether we even recognize the slot or not. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
