PCMCIA Gameport?
Ian Hobday
Well, perhaps a strange question, but none-the-less....
I am currently looking at Active Matrix 486DX2/50 notebooks,
specifically the Texas Inst. WinDX2/50 and the NEC Versa E DX2/50.
The TI's port replicator offers a game port, and the NEC's doesn't.
However, the NEC does have two PCMCIA slots...Does anyone know if
there is a PCMCIA card that provides a gameport?
Just in case anyone is wondering why I want a gameport on a ~$4000
laptop, it will be my only machine, and will often be the only
machine anywhere near me. I would like to be able to play the
occasional game. Besides, why else do you need a 486DX2/50 Active
Matrix notebook?
What? There are other uses for that great display? :-)
Thanks,
Ian.
