How many PCMCIA slots do most notebooks have? I am seeing 1 more than two, and only the Ricoh Magio/IBM TP235/Hitachi Traveller have ever had 3 that I know of.
This thing takes advantage of the CardBus slot, which is akin to a PCI slot in its speed, and brings out a PCI bus in an external cage.
Do you have FireWire/video capture/scsi/100bt ethernet all at once on your machine? Assuming its not a sony of course... oh and of course you have that 4 75 gig IDE raid setup in your notebook too?
I don't work for them, but I looked it up a while ago, and if your notebook is all you use, it would be great to have expansion...Voodoo? DXR3? for what your notebook doesn't come with. PCI no AGP but still great if that is all you have...

Taking it apart one night, the main board down towards the front stage right corner looks like a pci card... |||||||||||||||| |||||| like a pci card should look like, and more interesting, the little part is towards the corner, and the big part is near the inside of the board... meaning that you could plug the monster into a pci motherboard and the board would hang outside the box.. as in it is made to fit... wonder what it is for? Single board computer? put it on a passive backplane and add ethernet and scsi?
Since most of the diamonds come out of Africa, and since Africa can be a scary place, (see flame throwers as car options) then they can do whatever they want there. If they were abundant everywhere on the planet, then of course no one would have a monopoly, but they aren't.
