Flushmount PCMCIA USB Card?

[RWDPLZ]

Does anyone make a flushmount PCMCIA USB Card? I just fixed my A31p, and it would be very usable again if it had USB 2.0 ports, but I'd prefer not to have a giant tumour sticking off the side of it.

How about a usb 3.0 flush mount Expresscard?

I think it will work in an Expresscard 1.0 slot, but limiting transfer rates to 312 MBytes/sec...?

Haha, I probably won't find one of those... Sorry. There is a big difference in a PC card and an Expresscard. Thank you!

Looks like I will pick up an inside hide PC Card and a usb 3.0 expresscard adapter for my W500. I think they will fit at the same time...?

Just recieved the card today, installed itself under Windows XP, and works great with the A31p. Shipping took forever from Singapore, but it was worth it, thanks!

I bought one around the same time as you did. I agree that they are well worth it.

I got one as well after reading this thread. Thanks for the info!

I gave it a test run by copying a 350mb file from a DVD to a flash drive. Without the card the copy took 5 minutes and 44 seconds. The same file with the card was just under a minute 40.
