Anyone have experiences with putting HardCards into the Toshiba 3200SX laptop? These are the harddisk on a card that fit in the standard card slot.

I think the card will actually fit length-wise (It's a 13.4" inch card) but I recall that the THICKNESS of the card (It's 1.1" thick) might cause a problem... It gets really tight but I think it will fit... But a problem of poor air circulation and heat buildup may be a problem.... I've called Plus Development about using their hardcards in the Toshiba laptops and they said (at the time) that they have not tried it themselves and thus, could not comment... Hope that helps. George PS You may want to buy the card from someone who has a money-back guarantee in case you run into size problems... -- **************************************************************************** * George Wang - Computer Engineering T T * * University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign | T | * * INTERNET: gcw20877@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu \_|_/ * * UUCP: gargoyle!igloo!gwang PH: (217) 332-4019 - * ****************************************************************************
