Cards for Dock?

#1 Post by charlienyc » Mon Nov 05, 2007 2:13 pm

i'm reposting this as i (foolishly?) included a poll the 1st time around. that seems to be a sure-fire way to get your questions ignored :banghead: click here to read the back story: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=51886

i constantly use firewire for work purposes. is there a combo usb 2.0 / firewire card that is known to work in the 2631 dock?
heck, pm me if you want to sell me your working card! :cool:

Charlie,

I can take a look at the card that's in my desktop by putting it in my 2631 Dock. It might be a while since we have to finish off football season, but I'll get to it some time. I know that an Adaptec PCMCIA card has worked for me in the dock. That might be a better solution anyway since it can be taken out and used in the A31's PC Card slots when it's not in the dock.

DealExtreme seems to have a combo USB2/FireWire card:

Not too overpriced, $16.71 US shipped to anywhere in the world.

Sorry, I can't help you on that one. I don't actually have the card, nor do I have a dock or working dockable ThinkPad.
