I'm having trouble trying to locate some too :( You would think they would be easer to come up with!

[madfish]

Mnt. if you find some, grab two for me please.
Thanks

I asked the recycler about them again Jim. He still couldnt locate any. They have several hundred but there all in laptops on the shelves and they wont pull any of those. He said to check back in a week or 2 to see if he found any.

How about finding and cutting a small piece of foam sightly larger than the slot and putting it into the slot. Not a perfect solution but would probably do the job untill you get the cards. I agree about the tape. To messy and the heat will just make a gooey mess.

How many do you guys need? We usually have some spares at work. I'll see if I can locate them.

Bad news on the block off plates, someone has thrown them out. I do have some old functional cards, 3com 10Mbs nics with Xjacks and some old token ring and SCSI cards. If you don't mind disabling devices, I can send some of these out. They're basically new, just some testing for functionality, but not compatible with our current network.
