    Hi, I own two pcmcia cards, both used only three times literally. One is a SATA card and the other is a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs. I used these on borrowed laptops in the anticipation for when I got mine. However, I bought the ASUS S96J which does not have a pcmcia slot. I knew it didnt but I thought that expresscard was backward compatible. So it has a expresscard slot, what can I do to get my PCMCIA cards back in use? There is no adaptor or anything of the sort... if so, can someone send me a link for it?
    I also looked at usb pcmcia card readers and all I have found is an old Lexar from digital cams back in the day. It is usb 1.1 though which makes the sata card redundant and I assume it will most likely be too slow to run the sound card correctly. Please, any help on this will be greatly apreciated.
    Thanks
    Nico
