[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a fairly recent MacBook Pro 15" system with an Intel chip. It has one slot for external cards, which is an ExpressCard 34 slot, which is not the same as the old PC card slots. You will need to check if your wireless provider has an ExpressCard 34 version of their card.
