Hello,

Our CEO just bought a new MacBook Pro and switched from an IBM to a MAC. On his old IBM, he had a PCMCIA card that allowed him to run software to display his desktop onto three monitors. His new MacBook Pro has an ExpressCard and I was wondering if there is a converter that will allow him to use his existing PCMCIA card in the ExpressCard slot.

I tried posting in some Apple forums... but they didn't respond.

Thanks in Advance

Hardly. ExpressCard is USB+PCIE and uses the inherent hot plug capability of these connection types, while PCMCIA was PCI plus ISA plus a PCMCIA-specific (hotplug controller and bridge) chip.
