    Do you know what is a mini PCI card even is?

    Its a INTERNAL card not external, for example...

    As you can see, they are completely different.

    Yes, it would fit...but it wouldn't work very well.









    (and by very well, I mean at all).

    I'm going to guess you are probably talking about express card and not the mini PCI card. No, the express card will not fit in a PCMCIA slot, and vise versa. PC Cards such as Audigy ZS will only fit in the PCMCIA slot, while express cards will only fit in a express card slot.
