    Is there a way to add a cardbus (pcmcia) port to the dv7t? The Dell Studio 17 has three "mini-card" slots... assuming that might be a way to add it to that machine. But I don't see any docs regarding spare mini-card slots for the dvt.

    I'd prefer not to have to get an express-card --> cardbus adapter if I can help it.

    Thanks...

    Do you mean "mini-PCIe slots"? Cardbus is the previous generation PC card interface and is not available most new notebooks (replaced by the ExpressCard interface)... most new notebooks have mini-PCIe expansion for wifi, modems, SSDs, bluetooth, etc...
