I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I know there are some
really knowledgeable people who use this forum and I'm having trouble getting
a sensible answer, so here goes....

I'm buying a laptop and I want to use a Vodafone Connect card to connect to
the web. Vodafone say you connect the card to your laptop's PCMCIA slot, so
how do I know if the laptop has one? The description for the laptop says:
Connectors: (1) Type I or Type II card
3.3 and 5 V cards supported
Warm-swap Capable

AND IEEE 1394 (Firewire): 4-pin serial connector

Is it any of these? Thank you.
 
The specification you listed:
"Connectors: (1) Type I or Type II card
3.3 and 5 V cards supported
Warm-swap Capable"
would indicate that it has a PCMCIA slot, as those slots are Type I or II.
While I'm sure they exist, I've never seen a laptop with a PCMCIA slot.
Stating the make and model might have been helpful.

Yes, i believe it will work. Note: In XP home and Pro, the first time you
install the card, the laptop must be turned off first. (Believe me, i have
one)
 
PCMCIA slots are very common on laptops and PDAs.
Often they are used to swap modem, NIC or other devices.
