No real experience apart from the fact that I have not had a problem with various Compaq, 3Com, Xircom, or Kouwell cards in my Compaq Armada ;-) (They don't even supply a rubber mallet with them)
Funnily enough it also seems that http://www.pcmcia.org/pccard.htm doesn't have enough detailed physical info, apart from broad outside dimensions, to compare where the tolerances are. Maybe you need to be a "member" to get the details. Good luck, Martin.

Basically my 3Com PCMCIA NIC has died (I suspect the dongle but it is not replaceable), and the Surecom replacement won't go in. Looking at it closely I see a physical difference in the side guides. The PC is a geriatric Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDS Any pointers would be a help. -- Howard.
