    Hi
    I'm looking of a picture of the SD card reader in the ThinkPad T61 14". I couldn't find any T61 14" picture of it with google.
    I have a T61 14" wide with PC Card/ExpressCard slot and I was wonder how the SD card reader looks like.

    Would be possible to replace the PC Card/ExpressCard slot (FRU no. 42X3827) with the PC Card/4-in-1 media reader slot (FRU no. 42X3831)?
    (see Hardware Maintenance Manual)

    I saw the SD slot of the R61 15" and is placed at the front of the R61.

    A picture of the "PC Card/4-in-1 media reader" slot in a T61 14" wide would be greatly appreciated?

    Thanks
    Mr. Ico

    do you realize you can just get an expresscard/pc card SD card reader? You just insert the adapter in the pc card slot

    Thanks for your answer.
    Yes, I do and in fact is what I already have, but I'm not happy with it.
    It is a PC card (32bit) but I get only 4 MB/s from a SD card and with that same SD card on a USB reader I get over 10 MB/S. There may be some issues with the standby too (I have still to check). The manufaturer doesn't update the driver either.
    Therefore I'm exploring alternatives.
