External PCI Box for Laptops?

Posted by Cliff on from the screw-PCMCIA dept.

cagem0nkey asks: "I am in need of some type of external PCI card box for use with a laptop. I was able to find several different solutions, but these were all WAY to expensive for my wallet (at around $1,000 ea for one PCI slot!). Does anyone know of a cheaper way to add PCI card capability to a laptop? Possibly a USB or Firewire external enclosure?"

  2. Does it HAVE to be PCI Bus? by deemaunik · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why not just find a USB substitute for the device? They exist for 98% of hardware.
