Does your Cardbus USB card require a PS/2 port for power, or can it draw
enough directly from the Cardbus slot?
Thanks,
Cliff

I respectfully disagree with Lawrence on the value of the EPR. I use my
L100CT/US, overclocked to 266mhz, as my main computer. The EPR really
expanded the usefullness of my Libretto. I've never had any problems with
overheating even with all the slots on the EPR filled. It's great not having
to connect and disconnect the printer, network card, monitor, pccard cd
drive, mouse and scanner.
However, I do agreee that the CardBus USB pccard is a good value, if all you
need is USB expansion. I use the CardBus card when I'm on location and need
to use a USB device (i.e. mouse, CD-RW, digital camera). Incidentally the
CardBus card can coexist with the USB port on the EPR.
My 2cents,
David
