I doubt it. The 380ED, or at least the one I have, is 16-bit PCMCIA only, no CardBus support and I'm still yet to see a USB card that doesn't use CardBus.

OK, thanks, spent a while trying to get it installed for a friend to no avail.

If I'm not mistaken, the oldest computer in the 3 series lineup to have CardBus is the 380XD. The ThinkPad 380ED was the last of the 3xx series to not have CardBus. You might want to look into whether or not you can get USB with a docking station.
