Dean,
unfortunately this laptop never did like a USB 2.0 card in it's
PCMCIA slot. I went down that path a few years back and had no
success getting stuff to work. I didn't shell out more money on another
card just to check if it was the card though...
As far as SATA drives....and my original list..
This one at EYO says it is SATA 150.

Is that compatible with ATA-100?
My 40 GB Fujitsu has a very fine pin header with 2 rows of
22 pins
