USB for laptop

[huanthi]

I have an old laptop which doesn't have usb port. Do you guys know if there's anything out there that would add an usb port to my laptop?? How much would it cost also. I'm on tight budget. Thanks

you can get a usb pc card (pcimcia card) for about 70 bucks (no tax). lemme run a little research and find out where you can get it online.

outpost.com has the usb pcimcia card for 69.99 free shipping. you may want to go to your local computer store first and find out if they have any. if you wanna go with the outpost.com item, search for Manufacturer# ALP276. to be more specific, it's the Global Paragon 32Bit Cardbus PCMCIA to 2 Port USB Upgrade Card for PC Notebook Computers.

hope that helps.

your pcmcia slot must support cardbus or 32-bit; 16-bit slot won't cut it.

Is it not also possible to obtain parallel --> USB adapters? Tho I cant think of any off hand, but a quick search should turn up something..
