I have a wonderful Inspiron E1505 but to my horror it came with a STUPID Express card slot. I thought I was getting a PCMCIA but this is causing be great pain and I am losing money daily because of it. I use my PCMCIA for my Sprint Air Card so I have me internet with me all the time for business and I have been down for days now trying to solve this problem. Dell hasn't so I am asking here. I have been told there is an adaptor that will allow me to use my PCMCIA card with the Express and/or a Adaptor that would allow me to connect my PCMCIA card to my USB port.

Please, does anyone have a solution for me. I am in desprate need right now and really need an answer.

Why would DELL do such a stupid thing when there is very little Express card items out there. Anyway, please help me.

Thank you

Jim Ray

In the future, by using the Advanced Forum Search on the bottom of this page, you can quite easily find the answer to this often asked question. 

There are no available solutions per other posts, a company makes an adapter of some sort but they are out of stock for months.  Lots of info available via Google.

Rick,

Thank you. I did do a search but I really wasn't sure how to search for it. Also, I did search Google, but maybe I am not using the right phrases. Returning it isn't an otion now. The latitude doesn't have what I need. Rick, if you can direct me to what phrases to use I would appreciate it. As you can tell I am in panic mode and trying to keep my head about this.

Thank you again

Jim
