hi...

I have this laptop with a PCMCIA slot, and frankly I haven't used one of
those since the early days of wireless networking.

Looked at some flash memory and hard disks, but they all were very large in
physical size and small in storage size.

Is there any hardware out there that can restore the slot to former glory?

eSATA, Firewire, EVDO rev A are the most common uses in my own circles.

That idea is like thinking we are all compelled to fill
every PCIe, PCI, USB, etc, port on any computer. Leave the
slot empty till you have a need to add specific
functionality, THEN see if that is supported on PCMCIA.
