T61p model 6457-5FG: replace PC-card w PC-Express card slot?

[jeroenp]

Just found out that my spare T61p model 6457-5FG only has a PC-card slot.

Is it possible to replace that one with a PC-express card slot?

You need to buy PC Card/ExpressCard slot (FRU 42X3827). I bought one on ebay for $10.

AND a new pccard slot bezel (cover) - I didn't find one
It doesn't have FRU (???) according to HMM.

It is part of the base cover, if I remember correctly. If you buy a new base from IBM, you get both kinds and install one or the other.

Yes, but the price for one small bezel will be too high, i think

And, one investigation... If you look in T61 14'' widescreen manual, you will see that part has a separate FRU 42W2510!
Maybe someone can clear for me, it will fit in T61 15,4'' or not?
