    Will the T60 work with a Firewire PCMCIA card?

    I really like the T60's regular aspect ratio screen for the work I do.

    The thing is I need Firewire for multitrack audio recording. I read somewhere that the T60 simply won't work with a PCMCIA Firewire card.

    I doubt this is true but figure I should ask before buying?

    Thanks,

    Mark

    I don't see why it wouldn't.

    My T60 should be arriving next week. If you don't find out before then let me know and I'll give it a try. I have a firewire card that worked in my T21.

    I found user review that you probably did. I'd suspect that if a card conforms to the PC Card spec (aka PCMCIA) the thinkpad won't have a problem with it.

    yes it will work. I had a t60 for a few weeks and got the firewire card on eBay for $16 and it worked fine
