i have a ibm thinkpad which i want to put my cable and wireless pcmcia card into
the problem is my laptop only has 16bit cardbus slots and the pcmcia card i have is a 32 bit
is there a way round this such as a different driver or can i buy another card slot that will fit where the existing card slot is
its a shame as its just gathering dust at the moment as theres no usb or ethernet ports so the card slot is the only way to connect to the internet
specs(pentium 2 cpu,128mb ram,20gb hdd,running windows millenium)i know the specs are rubbish but i got this laptop for nothing and it would only be for web-browsing
any ideas guys?

unfortunately, a 32 bit cardbus plus slot can revert to a 16-bit type system however not the other way round. in my honest opinion, grab the laptop hdd n buy a cheap caddy off ebay and then you've got a 20gb usb hdd for the price of less than a 5er, then just get rid of the laptop mate. it's not worth saving anything else. ibm thinkpads are legendry laptops but ur machine just sounds completely past it.
