    so.... my t61p didnt really come with a manual, not that i expected one.
    but it really left me clueless as to what this was.

    its these 2 little sticks by the express card slot. at first i thought they were stylii but they dont pull out. you can push them out but they dont detach. i seriously have no clue what they do and there's no manual to provide any detail.

    Those "two little sticks" are for ejecting an Express/PC card out of the slot.

    :D.

    Those buttons are standard on just about every express card and PCMICIA slot. They are as said above the eject buttons. Besides what there is a manual included in the box. I got one when i bought my T60p.

    Isn't there a diagram explaining all the neat stuff of the T61p?

    The PC/Express Card eject buttons must not have been included in the diagram...

    I'll have to find my ThinkPad box again.

    Oh give me a break. They aren't doing anyone but themselves a favor by not including a good manual. Same thing with the recovery disks. And honestly - do we have to do everything on the internet now?

    A little bump for a silly question:
    But is it possile to have Cardbus and a express card active at the same moment.

    I was thinking on a echo indigo soundcard Cardbus and wireless N Express card

    I guess it doesn't fit since most of the time they have a bigger part at the outside. But any1 knows??
