Hi, Andy, thanks.  The pricing got so strange in this discussion, I was 
confused.  I use the pcmcia card reader for my ethernet card, and my cf card in 
the back.  Thanks for that explanation.  I have an old VoiceNote with the old 
motherboard, and you're right, it just has the one slot in the side.  Thanks 
again.
