Hi there guys,
I have a quick question. I have a T61 which has a PCMCIA slot and SmartCard reader in it, is it possible to swap this bit out and install a PCMCIA and ExpressCard slot?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Syphon

I don't see why not. The FRU number for the PCMCIA/Express card module is 42X3827. To be doubly sure check yourself in the
HMM for your T61.

Cool, I guess I might call up Lenovo tomorrow and see how much these things cost!

wow! they're cheap!!
£3.20!!! Might pick one of these up.
I also asked about a WUXGA panel for my Z61m (to replace the WSXGA I have currently), alas that is £350 - booo! - Chances are I would need to replace the inverter etc too no?
