    I have a thinkpad t23, with two PCMCIA slots stacked on top of each other. The problem is that I can only plug in either my network card or my USB 2.0 card since each has a big end that sticks out of the slot. Is there some kind of extension card that would plug into the slot in one end and into the card on the other end? Thanks!


    *I apologize if this question has already been asked, I wasn't able to find it using the search function.

    I don't see any kind of extender, but they may be out there somewhere. You may want to look into a PCMCIA NIC replacement that has a dongle.. something like this..

    be warned, dongles are fragile, but it may be the cheapest workaround for your issue.


    Sharp AL27, Athlon 64 2700+ 60Gb hdd, 512Mb mem, 64Mb vid, superbright lcd. DVD +-/RW. Great choice for business use.
