    Just bought a used laptop off e-bay and it does not have a USB Port. It is a IBM Thinkpad 380-D. I bought a Notebook Card to intall, but it did not work. I am not sure exactly what I need to intall a USB connection for my computer. I do not know if it is to old. I need a USB connection in order to get online. Can anyone tell me my options of how to install some type of USB. Thanks!
