According to ThinkWiki, the T43 has both a Cardbus slot and an ExpressCard slot. Maybe in the configuration shown here? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ExpressCard_slot

Sounds like your laptop has an ExpressCard slot rather than a PC card slot.
They look the same from the outside.

Can someone help me with this? I have just purchased a
Sierra 875 AirCard for GPRS and 3G connectivity while
travelling. I just plugged it in and it worked in
Bangkok at 2424 kbps at no cost, for some reason.

In good user fashion I then read the manual, which warns
"If your computer has a PC Card slot, a PC Card to
ExpressCard adaptor [sic-those Canadians will do it
every time] is required." I never heard of such a
thing and it seems to function unexpectedly well in
every respect (esp. since it cost $25 on ebay).

What is it, what am I missing, and why does it mechanically
interface the Thinkpad even without said accessory?

PS any hints about user experience most welcome. I earlier
bought an 860 card which would not install on the T43
but it installs fine on an Acer!
