You can put pretty much any half length PCI card in there. I have USB 2 card right now.
As for the video port, it is the same as the built-in one on laptop.
in use: x200 - x60s
for fun: Transnote - 701c - 360PE - Workpad z50 - PalmTop PC110 (need fix)

when you mean HALF...can you give me an idea with a pic, can a desktop video card go in there...reason why is my video port on the dock won't display on an external monitor, or is there a built in video card in the top of the dock. i just notice it , i was also thinking of firewire card. thanks for any help

Half length PCI card. Some people think this is full size because they've never seen a full length card.

I'd upload a picture but this board does not have the option/software to load images directly. :cry:

Standard PCI video card will fit. Card is approx. 6 - 8 inches long

And anything else I can stuff in.

Any one else here old enough to have used an IBM 029 Keypunch? :}
