PCMCIA (Type 1 + Type 2)

Hi there,
I have an old laptop that I would like to use in a better way.
Right now i have a type2 ethernet adapter and I connect to it by ssh,
rarely i would use it live as it's very heavy!

I started needing usb recently for all kinds of things and decided
to buy a type2 4-port usb card... This was my first experience with
pcmcia so I was very disapointed when i realised it was not possible
to turn one up side down to have both fit at the same time in the two
slots of my machine.

Someone told me because they were type 2 i could buy a type 1 and
have a type 1(eth) on the bottom and type 2(usb) on top. Does this
make sense?

Also, every store i look for a type 1 ethernet doesn't have it, i
looked many so far. Even some who specialize in pcmcia cards! I came
to wonder if these types of card were not ancientized or something...

All info is greatly appreciated!

Simon
