If you have another computer I would suggest to buy a network card for
the laptop and copy the data to the other computer. You probably don�t
want to carry the external harddrive with the data around with you, so
its fine when the data sits on the other PC�s drive and a network card
has more uses than an pcmcia-scsi adaptor.
Just my 2c.
