PCI Express for laptop?

What kind of board?

I don't think they'll have the bandwidth for it.

Depends.

What model? The newer models (T60, Z60, etc.) use the Advanced Dock which has a half-height PCI-E slot (intended for a video card).

I doubt there is an adapter. How about CardBus?

I bought a Xilinx FPGA Development Kit and it is in the form of a PCI circuit board and can apparently only be written to using the PCI edge connection. Unfortunately I have a T40 Thinkpad laptop. I misunderstood the literature, seeing that it had a DB9 serial jack and thought that I could download that way.

Let see if I understand what you want.

You want to plug your laptop into a PCI-E slot, it that right??

So an adapter that can plug into "USB, parallel and PCMCIA port" on one side to a PCI-E buss on the other side. Right ??

Just to clear things up a little.

I have never heard of such a thing.

But, I could see that a 10/100 network card can be found for each end.

Will that do what you want ?? Or is the PCI-E slot something special ??

First PCI and PCI-E are not the same.

Second, you SOL.

Not a chance. PCI Express is much higher bandwidth than any standard (eg; CardBus) port available on current laptops.

Sound like I'll just have to get a cheap desktop with PCI Express on Ebay or something. Oh well; live and learn.
