Experience with Magma PCI-Cards

[PE]

Does somebody know these cards for use with laptops? They want up to $900, are there any alternatives?

Thanks a lot!!!

I couldn\'t believe it either. Just the single PCI one is $800+.

I wish I knew of an alternative.

There are PCMCIA cards available. But maybe you don\'t want to abandon the card you\'re comfortable with.
