Laptops! What's the best way to get a game port?

What's the best way to get game ports on a laptop? Is there a PCMCIA card? How about a serial or parallel port? Is anybody playing these games on a laptop? I have an HP OmniBook 4000CT. Albert Alcorn Software Design Engineer Hewlett Packard California Semiconductor Test Operation (408) 553-7482

Albert, I haven't had any first hand experience with these, but I do know that there is a Speed Adjustible game port out on the Market made by Suncomm that is a PCMCIA Card. Matt ThrustMaster, Inc.

I use a laptop exclusively for games. I am using the Colorado Memory Systems "Notebook GamePort". It runs off the parallel port. I chose this one because the game developers support it in most games. I found the others including PCMCIA versions not well supported. Bruce

Great! Well, if this isn't too expensive, I will be buying one today. I might also try the PCMCIA one as well. Any ideas about running NASCAR on the laptop?

I do not have any suggestions other than running lots of memory. I use an AT&T Globalyst 250 notebook with a Pentium chip and 20MB of memory. NASCAR functions the same on your notebook as a desktop. Bruce
