This is as good a place for this as any...
D'oh!!!
I got my PCMCIA - CF adapter. Got my old CF card (512M SanDisk), finally took the cover off of tee PCMCIA slot on my laptop...
never been used...
and..
(you figure it out yet?)
Yep, it's NOT a PCMCIA slot. It's an Express Card/54 slot.
As I said, "D'oh!!!"
I think I'm OK, as my printer has a card reader, and if that doesn't work, I can get a CF card reader easily enough, but..... My Homer S moment...
Now I just need to find the "any key."
