    Hello,
    I just wish to connect external device with 25-pin LPT connector to my HP compaq 6730B notebook. I have 54 express card slot. I'm not sure about Express Card, is that just adapter for PCMCIA card, and I need both, (express and PCMCIA with LPT port) or express card with LPT port included can be found? What is my options?
    Regards, Den :confused:

    The 6730B only has a express card 54/34 port. Expresscard is the successor of PCMCIA and they are not compatible with each other.

    You can get a Expresscard 34 to LPT card but its a bit pricey
