I'm looking for a PCMCIA adapter that accepts Type II CF cards and it looks like these are now history?

I'd hate to have to do this to my Type I adapter:

Nope, I don't have the link handy but check ebay. A vendor has quite a few available. No hacking required.

Hot dang, right there:

Lately I haven't bothered looking for small items on ebay, usually the shipping is outrageous. But $7.56 shipped isn't bad at all. Guess there are still some bargains there.

Thanks for the tip

They don't have Type II CF to PCMCIA adapters - only Type I CF to PCMCIA. (At least not the locations I've been to lately.)

Well, when I went to Frys last, [in Phoenix, AZ] I only saw the Type I CF to PCMCIA as well...

I just bought one at Fry's about an hour ago $4.99. They had at least 4 different brands in various sections of the store.
