    Simple question, I have limited experience with older IBM's.

    I am going to be installing 3 WLAN Cards on them and need some help. Is access going to be made through bottom panel or from behind the keyboard?

    Any guides?

    Any recommendations for a cheap, budget friendly Mini PCI? I am thinking... Intel 3945? :)

    I am installing them in 3 laptops...

    I am not an idiot ^^^

    I am a computer technician I just havent found much hardware notation for the T30 seemingly because of its age...I have worked on numerous T60 series, SL series etc. but never a T30 series lappy.

    I dont have it in hand as of now either so I havent got too look around in the back/behind keyboard etc..

    :)
