Hello! Actually my story is quite similar to Marcel Meckels. I have two "old" notebooks. One ist a IBM-Thinkpad 760CD. This one has no USB onboard and only real PCMCIA ie 16bit. The other is an Acer Extensa 367T. This one is somewhat more modern with usb and Cardbus (the 32Bit "PCMCIA") Now both of them are alright and could have their uses if I only could find a real PCMCIA USB Adapter /XX\ Andreas
