PCMCIA Type I and II?

[Jonj1611]

Hi,

I have an IBM 560e, now it says it take PCMCIA I and II cards but I have a wireless Cardbus card which doesn't seem to fit in, will the 560e take cardbus cards?

I mean technically will they work? If they will it might be the slots are slightly to small for the card, I could refine the card down a little, I can see the left notch is the one that is slightly too large, but I wouldn't do that unless I was certain that the unit would accept those cards.

Thanks
Jon

According to twbook.pdf it seems you are out of luck. 560 series didn't adapt cardbus until 560X.

Ah, thats a shame, ok, I guess the next question should be, does anyone know if anyone makes PCMCIA type I and II wireless cards that would work in the machine?

Thanks again
Jon

What you are looking for is a 16-bit wireless card. You can use keywords "16-bit wireless pcmcia" search online. There are a couple of those cards on zBay and you can expand your search from there by using the idividual model number.

Cool, I will check it out, basically only looking for something that I can plug into it, and chat in the garden in the summer

Thanks for the help

The old silver or gold Lucent Orinoco cards are excellent and should work for you. I have used a gold card with a 365X w/o problems.
