USB/PCMCIA adapter?
Surprising I found yesterday that my brand new E1505 notebook doesn't have a PCMCIA slot. So I searched for a USB/PCMCIA adapter on the DELL website but I couldn't find one. Am I looking for something that DELL doesn't sell?

The increased bandwith and lower overhead of the PCI Express design makes much faster cards possible with Express Card than with PCMCIA.
There are some machines with both slots (many of the current Latitudes). The budget line (Inspiron) doesn't have PCMCIA any longer - and in fact hasn't for a couple of years now.
