dongle-less PCMCIA NIC wanted

mpot · 10th July 2001, 5:36 PM

I'm looking for a dongle-less PCMCIA NIC.

I want something similar to the Xircom Direct Port, but am looking for something cheaper (Xircom 10/100 RealPort is about $245).

I've found some made by Bromax ($103 for 10/100, $81 for $10) and DLink ($146 for 10/100) but the card itself still protrudes outside the PCMCIA port by about 15-20mm.

I'm looking for something that will be flush, similar to the Xircom Realport.

I don't care if the NIC takes up both PCMCIA slots (like the Xircom), as I don't need any other PCMCIA cards in this particular notebook.

Who else makes similar PCMCIA NICs?

Cheers,
Martin.

10/100 + REAL 56k modem. Abit more than u probably wanna spend, none the less, very good cards, especialy if ure running *nix
