I am interested in this card but my laptop does not have the next generation PCI express expansion port just the original PCMCIA slot, is this compatible?

This card does have ability to be able to use it with a PCMCIA slot but requires a caddy which is available separately at www.devicewire.com.

Can you explain to me what a caddy is exactly?

Hello,

 

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. A caddy is a 'sleever' for the PC Express card that adds a PCMCIA form-factor connection. I have taken a picture:

So this is the thing that allows you to add your express card to your computer?
