I have 3 Cards (PCMCIA) but I have NO Mac with a PCMCIA card slot... My PB 12" and PB 1XX, 2XX, etc... Don't have one... is there some sort of mod to make a PCI card a PCMICA?... Or something?...

You have PCMCIA cards and you want a mod to turn PCI cards in to PCMCIA? :confused:

edesignuk: not quite :)

The way I read this: you have PCMCIA cards and want to use them on your Macs. You Macs do not have the correct slot but you do have an open PCI slot. So you want a PCI PCMCIA controller card. I have found these:

Addonics version (http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/adpcicb2.asp)
Lindy (http://www.lindy.com/us/productfolder/05/51101/index.php)

Unfortunatly neither claims to have Mac support :( Do your PCMCIA cards have Mac drivers?

Ture... My bad wording, and lack of re-reading... But I got my point accross... Maybe I should readd "my speeling is bad" to my sig... :rolleyes:
