Laptop with PCMCIA slot & firewire connection - does it exist?

[Tom Shortridge]

Like the topic says, I'm trying to find a laptop that comes with both a PCMCIA slot for P2 offloading, as well as a firewire connection. I'm going up to Lake Placid, NY for a solo shoot for a week with an HVX-200. I'd like to have two available options for offloading/storage, if God forbid the firewire port happens to die on my HVX.

Anybody have any knowledge of a system like this?

Wait, I might be a (Mac-using) idiot. I gotta do more research on if it's possible to use USB for file transfer on PC. Mods, if you read this, you can shut it down.

Lenovo Thinkpads are available with PCMCIA slots.

But yes, you can use the camera as a card reader through USB in Windows.
