Yes, absolutely. I just purchased a brand new Toshiba Satellite, and it most assuredly has a PCMCIA slot on the left side, and if necessary, my wife can use her PCMCIA network card to connect to a LAN. Now, granted there is a LAN connection on the back, but sometimes, it is better to use a PCMCIA slot. The cable goes in better, and I've found that they sometimes stay connected better than my internal network card. We also have a PCMCIA modem in case the internal one goes bad. If you got a video card for your laptop, that is, an external one, wouldn't that be a PCMCIA card? How about if you need an SCSI interface for your laptop. That, too, I'm afraid, would be a PCMCIA card. It would seem to me that there may be still a need for the PCMCIA slot. I conclude, then, that the PCMCIA slot most certainly needs to be retained. Thanks so much!!!
