Given that my new E1505 comes equipped with an ExpressCard slot, and I'd like to utilize a Pc-Card, I'm having a bit of trouble finding a device that would allow me to use the "older" style cards...

Are there any external Pc-Card readers out there?

Thanks!

There are usb to pc-card adaptors like those two ones:

http://delock.com/produkte/gruppen/PCMCIA/UMTS_PCMCIA_Drive_USB_to_PC-Card_20523.html

The price in Europe is 100 euro and more.

I haven't seen express card to pcmcia adaptors so far. Though, there are adaptors from pcmcia to express card like this one

Those are the European market products but you should have similar ones in the US.
