PCMCIA card only, try eBay.

An other forum member brought to my attention that there are PCMCIA USB 2.0 adapters that fit entirely 'in' the laptop.
See this link:

I've bought one myself for my A31 last week. Waiting for it to arrive, so I can't tell you much more at this moment.
Kind regards,

Erik

Hi,

I finally got my inside USB card last week, and I have to say, it works great! No problems, it is a tight fit, but, just plug it in and you are ready! My Cruzer 4gb and 8gb fit and work with no problems and does not cause any problems with my D-Link PCMCIA card.
