Looking for PCMCIA game card

As my employer has just provided me with a 133MHz Pentium portable machine I'm now looking to get GP2 running on it for those long business trips :-) Expansion is via PCMCIA. Does anyone know of any PCMCIA cards which provide a game port ? ( My next challenge will be buiding a portable steering wheel and pedal set. I couldn't go back to keys since I built my 'home' version ) Peter
Peter This is a problem for anyone with a notebook, which I assumed could only be solved with a port replicator or docking station. By shear coincidence, today I was going through old email and came across a note from a company specialising in notebook upgrades, and there, in the list, was a PCMCIA game card! I'll mail the list to you. Let me know whether it turns out to be what we need.
New Media has a brand new PCMCIA game port card called the "Basics". They are just beginning to ship to distributors so it may take a while to get one. However, it appears to be both DOS and Win95 compatible and, best of all, the info on New Media's web page (www.newmediacorp.com) states that when put into the Type 2 slot the card will not interfere (i.e., cover up) the other slot and, therefore, you can use your modem at the same time to play on the net or against another modem player THM > Peter > This is a problem for anyone with a notebook, which I assumed could only be
