Hello folks,

Sorry for another off-topic thread.

I have a Toshiba laptop that I got for real cheap, and it has one
PCMCIA slot, no Firewire plugs, and a bunch of USB plugs.  It now
turns out that for my application, I need the PCMCIA slot to install a
specialty sound card, but I also need to have a Firewire input!  I
understand that the only way to add Firewire to a laptop is to use a
PCMCIA slot...  Is there a way somehow to "split" the one PCMCIA slot
on my laptop and be able to use it for both the sound card and a
Firewire port?  Any way I can add a Firewire port and still keep my
PCMCIA sound card?

This is a Toshiba Satellite L25-S119 laptop.  I actually run Windows
XP on it just because I need to for the specialty software I have to
use.

Any thoughts (other than buying another laptop!) would be appreciated :)

Denis
