Hello

I just got an OLD ibm thinkpad 380ed. It is P1 with 80mb RAM. I am not using WIndows . I have already installed Linux on this baby. I never had a laptop before and i have a question about the pcmica slots .

It has 2 slots. I bought a pcmcia card for internet and it worked right away.
What is a cardbus? I tried inserting a cardbus card but it would not fit all the way in. Why?
What other kind of of pcmcia can i get for this laptop?
These are the specs for the pcmcia slots from IBM.



2 Type I or 2 Type II or 1 Type III / Zoomed Video support in lower slot /PCMCIA 2.1 compatible / PC Card Standard 95 / Cirrus Logic CL-PD6729 (PCI



thanks
