Ask Elizabeth - Partnering MoGo without standard PC Slots
by Elizabeth Blair York | July 27th, 2007Q. have a Dell XPS1210 laptop. It does not come with a PCMCIA card slot - instead, its standard is a PCI Mini Express card slot - can the MoGo line of equipment fit into these card slots? Or is an adapter required, and if so, will MoGo offer an adapter or has it considered partnering
with Dell to make one? - “Fix”
A. This is a great question, and I promptly kicked it over to tour favorites MoGo gurus. They answered by saying that the new X54 mouse that is rolling out in August will be compatible with Express Card slot.
Q. I want to use a MoGo mouse but I have a MAC Laptop with no PC Card slot….is there a way?
A. Bad news. Currently the MoGo mouse products do need a slot for recharging and there are no current plans for changing that. As a fellow MacHead, I feel your pain.
That said, I am a ‘two-platform’ household and do switch using the mouse between the PC and the Mac. I am sure that soon I will find that product that would allow me to take the MoGo mouse on the road with a Mac Laptop - and as soon as I do, you’ll be the first to know.
On Fridays, MoGo Mobility’s Elizabeth will seek to answer your MoGo (and non-MoGo) technical questions.
