Some PCMCIA-USB cards don't work fine in some laptops - don't know why
- and mfg can't seem to care for $20-$40. I have one now that
sometimes (about 1 in 8) hangs the boot - soln = pull out card and
power and battery and reboot - always works then. (Shrug of shoulders
and sigh ...) This one happens to be a USB2 card that I need.

I've been trying to figure out whether to get the Dell SX270 desktop
and one of the last issues I have is that the boat has a weather
satellite receiver from Ocens that terminites in a PCMCIA card. The
Dell has no expansion slots but I did find a PCMCIA female to USB male
adapter: http://www1.dealtime.com/xPF-CMS_U_PCMCIA

Does anyone have experience pro or con or knowledge as to why this
might or might not work?

The Dell size is unbeatable but I want to be sure I can use it before
I buy.
