Bunny Wabit:
Thats interesting . I will look into that. First I am going to a local store to see what they have. Might stop at goodwill, ya will be impressed by what you can find there(working condition that is)

But i will go look on eBay.

Calum:
folks, can i ask your opinion? as far as i knew, a PC card slot was about the size of a credit card and about an eighth of an inch thick, yes? well what about this? :


It claims to be a realport PCMCIA card. Will this fit into my PC card slot? common sense says no, but what i really want to know is, are their two common sizes for PC cards, and i need to look only for the right sized one? or am i just being thick?

thanks...

voidmain:
Most PCMCIA (PC Card) slots are dual card slots. That is, there is room to stick two cards into the dual slot. I've not seen this device before but it looks like it is a single card that takes up both slots. Do you have a URL with more info about that card?

Calum:
here's what i know about it. must make a decision before 12AM GMT.

I am at work and this IBM T22 has got 2 PC card slots, as you describe, this would fit one and would not leave room to put abother card in as well, exactly as you say. At home, however i know my laptop only has one PC card slot however i suspect it is large enough to fit a card twice the size of a normal PC card.

I just wanted to check if this was normal behaviour. Also, i will have time to check when i get home tonight before the close of bidding so i should be okay (also i must make 100% sure it will work in mandrake 8.2 however i am thinking that Xircom PC card modems would do so, from what i hear).

Thanks, void main, for taking the time to respond.

[edit - GAAA!! payment by NOCHEX whatever that is, meaning i can't bid for it anyway since i would like to pay by personal cheque. Nevermind, i will get some other Xircom PC card modem, i am still interested in this one though, somebody might be selling another one on eBay tomorrow!

Here's the other one i have my eye on what do you think?

Well I wouldn't buy anything unless I was 100% sure it will work in Linux. I have used Xircom cards but you really need to be careful to search for the exact model number and verify if people have had success with that model.  I believe you need to be especially careful with the combo cards. Some work great, some don't work at all. Some, one part of the combination works but not both.
