    which notebook, port replicator, or aftermarket product allows for the use of 32-bit PCI cards with the notebook.

    thanks

    ...none. You can't use PCI cards with a notebook. Are you talking PC Cards, like PCMCIA?

    i remember seeing a website that sells a cardbus card that plugs into a box that has 32-bit PCI slots. but the **** thing costs $800 new on their website. i thought there were some notebooks with optional port replicators with a 32-bit PCI slot ? hmmm....

    If there's a pci card there should be a similar pcmcia card or external usb device, only the most diverse pci cards dont have a laptop equivalent.

    What exactly are you wanting to do?
