So my question is if this adaptec PC card is compatible with the 8887-v laptop?

I need all info you can gif me becouse I realy dont know to much about laptops and PC card or PCMCIA . Is this two type of card the same? wich is the diferent from them?

The adaptec PCMCIA SCSI card will work just fine. The Sagers (and all modern laptops) have 32-bit Type II slots. I have not seen a 16-bit slot or card for a long time.

You may also look at USB-to-SCSI adapters, if the transfer rate is not critical.

I would suggest the PCMCIA card that you have shown. It is a good card. Muy bueno.
