Subject: Laptop with Docking station (with PCI slot(s))


Hi,

Does anyone know of a modern laptop out there that is capable of being fitted to a docking station with at least 1 PCI slot? I need this because i have an expensive SW1000XG sound card.

I've spent a soul destroying 3 days searching the net to no avail. Plenty of older laptops have this facility but the modern ones seem to have dispensed with the idea (probabely because of the amount of usb generic docking stations out there).

The only product i can find out there is made by magma - a one slot cardbus to PCI box that costs about $1000 - i nearly pissed myself laughing.

My other 3 options are :-

(1) Say if i bought a new sony laptop, could i fit an older sony docking station to it with a cable so that i could use the pci slot?

(2) Get an Easidock 5000 (now discontinued) from american ebay and hack out the pci bits i need and put into a smaller box

(3) Make one - does anyone know how to make one ?

Are these my only options or do docking stations with pci slots exist anymore??? please help

cheers
