So here's the question:
Sounds like you have the option of using it as either one or two PCMCIA slots (the number of cards depends upon physical size). There are some type numbers for these... I think that it is type II that that "double slot" of yours can hold two of (what my laptop from 1995 can hold two of). > Could I use the a card that I would buy today or have standards changed > and I would have to look for a vintage pcmcia network and/or modem card? I think that you would be limited to the 16-bit PCMCIA cards, and not be able to use the 32-bit CardBus cards. Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED]
