I'm not really desperate for this, but if anyone has a solution to this
problem, I'd be glad to hear about it.

Has anyone found a way to get USB support on to old ThinkPads that don't
have a USB port and that don't have Cardbus-enabled PC card slots? I've
found a couple of PCCard-to-USB-port cards, but they require Cardbus
support, which didn't get into ThinkPads until the 760s or thereabouts. Does
anyone know a way to get USB into earlier models, perhaps through a PC Card
adapter that I haven't come across yet?

Many thanks for any info.
