Paul,
I believe at one time cisco support the 2500's much like the older
1004/1005 router where they used the PCMCIA as the flash upgrade method of
choice. I have a couple of 2500's with the PCMCIA slot and after trying a
number of different cards I gave up my quest to use the slot.
This is what CCO has to say about it..
