Looking for PCMCIA dummy card

Hi there,

I'm finally posting here to ask for help with a PCMCIA dummy card. Called Averatec and their sales staff have no clue what PCMCIA or PCCard is, much less a dummy card.

I only found one online store selling the plastic dummy card for $4~$5 ... but shipping is like $8~$9!

Wondering if anyone know of an online store that sells them at a good price. Thanks!

 

Someone once posted a link to some little tray that slides into the PCMCIA slot and can be used to store a couple of folded bills, etc. Don't know if that's what you mean.

 

By the way, I believe they had it at CompUSA for $10-20.

 

Aha! I knew it had the word "stash" in it. Still might not be what you're talking about, but here is what I mentioned:

By the way, should be able to get free shipping on accessories with this code: BRFREE

Best,

Might want to check eBay.

 

You also might try going to some local computer repairshops. I work in one and we occasionally have those lying around, for exaple if we've recently installed a PCMCIA Wireless card for a customer. We'd give one away, if we had one, most likely.

 

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies. Any chance there are spares laying around?

I'm resorting to slotting in a pccard with a dummy sd card. It don't seem to suck power that way. But a dummy pccard would be great!

Thanks for all the info and appreciate if anything comes by.

 

The PCMCIA card is universal, no matter what company makes it, so the reader or holder of the card must be a universal size. You might want to contact dell up. It is likely that would sell a dummy card as a part as dummy cards come with dell notebooks, slotted into the PC card holders.

 

You are complaining about 8$ ??? lol man, consider yourself lucky you live in USA, in EU shippings are like 15 euro atleast.
