No puzzled, interested. I figure the most common PMCIA cards would be (probably in this order): modem, ethernet, usb, wireless, firewire. Those are the ones I have. The iBook has all these available to it. With the iBook you don't get SCSI, serial and ADB, but I don't think that's a major loss since most of the common devices are available in USB. I did say most. I'm interested in the more specific devices. I hadn't thought of microdrives, but I had thought of pro video/audio. Peace, again Andrew
