Here in Sydney there are Nokia 16 bit PCMCIA <-> PCI Cirrus logic chipset
cradles available from CX computers (www.cx.com.au), as well as from an
individual over here that has imported some himself.

NEWS FLASH ;) (Always wanted to do that)..

I have only been able to order 100 cards (they were tight asses in giving
their whole stock and wouldn't discount the remainder), and I am splitting
it in half with Brisbane as a finders fee so Brisbane and Sydney get 50
cards each.

Hopefully the stock should arrive in Sydney about Mon-Tue and have to wait
for customs and hopefully out by Wed'.... Which then I'd have to pay duty
on
it.. argh !! government !!

Sorry, wrapping and postage is a hassle for me as it is, so these orders
are
for Sydney pickups ONLY..

Brisbane rep (adam) and I agreed to make the cost $60 a card due to
exchange
rate the bank charged me on and the freighting etc..etc..

Also, I just got the employee at Unisys to get me another 50 PCMCIA cards
so
those who didn't get their orders in time can now order them.. Again, only
pick ups and a 1 month DOA warranty thanks to those Enterasys a$$#*&%#....
Same price $50 a card.

anything else DELETED.....
