Pcmcia card needed

I would, personally, be highly suprised if such a beast existed. The data rate of a high resolution DVI link has got to be pretty alarming. A quick poke through http://www.ddwg.org/data/dvi_10.pdf didn't provide any immediately obvious bandwidth figures; but DVI is basically shoving a huge uncompressed image down the pipe continually. I don't the Cardbus could handle it (even a 32 bit one) and I'd be shocked if one or two laptop drives could keep up with the data produced by such a card. The only DVI capture solutions I've seen are 4 to 7 U high end monstrosities that probably cost twice as much as any laptop they've ever been connected too.
 
I'm thinking that cirthix wants the card not for capture, but just so he can output some DVI signal on his laptop's screen; especially if its a late-model 17" widescreen or some such, it could easily be the best display in the house. I also doubt that one exists, because there probably isn't much call for one. cirthix, I wish you luck, and I'm interested to hear if you find one.
