[Thinkpad] Re: solid state 560x update (wireless card works), source for CF card adapter?

Hello,

eBuyer (whom I have never bought anything from) has SanDisk CompactFlash
to PCMCIA adapters for $3.29. Here is a direct URL to the product on their
web site:

   <http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=33546>

I have one of these which I bought at Fry's Electronics a few years ago and
it works fine with all the Lexar, SanDisk and SimpleTech CompactFlash memory
I've used (Type I, 80MB-256MB).

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
