Thread Starter 
Does anybody know where I can get an expresscard which will have external pcmcia female slot. I've got plenty od pcmcia cards which I want to keep using but from what I understood they won't fit in qosmio models?!
For instance, I've been using Adudigy2 ZS for notebook with 7.1 speakers and don't want to get another sound card on USB or spend extra money..
Can soembody advise, posibly provide links...?
Thanks,

at the moment no such thing exists, the cards are physically a different size so a completely internal solution is not possible. from what i gather there are external usb based readers for pcmcia cards but i couldnt even find one of those the last time i checked.

Express card is the "new" standard that is replacing PCMCIA. The cards are narrower than PCMCIA, so what you heard is correct, the PCMCIA cards will not work in an express cad slot.

I haven't heard of any adapters like you say you are looking for, matter of fact, express cards have been pretty slow to come out, period. Sorry.

There is another slot in Toshiba Qosmio g30 - PC Card.
You should have this one...
