    I have a PCMCIA Card (wireless phone/data card). Recently purchased a new lappy - HP dv9207us - and it comes with a 54mm Express Card slot. I want to continue to use the PCMCIA wireless phone card. Is there an adaptor available in the market?

    Thanks.

    Since the express card slot is physically smaller, the best you'll be able to find is something like a USB->PCMCIA adapter that involves an external enclosure.

    Oh alright. I guess it'll be a bit slower since its a USB slot...
