[geeks] Type II PCMCIA CardBus question

[Ido Dubrawsky]

I have T-Mobile for my cell provider and I recently bought a Sony
Ericsson GC89 Wi-Fi/EDGE/GPRS card for work (I travel often between DC
and New York and it would be useful to be able to e-mail while on the
train).  Unfortunately my Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet-PC specs say that the
PCMCIA slot in the system is a 16-bit Type II PCMCIA slot.  The GC89 is
a 32-bit card...it fits  my Dell Inspiron 6000.  I guess I'm screwed as
far as using it in the Tecra as it doesn't slide in all the way.  Anyone
know any better?  The T-Mobile rep is sending me a complimentary card. 
Should I ask him to send me a GC85 (it's a tri-band versus a quad-band
but at least it's a 16-bit card)?
