It is normal PCMCIA with a funny power reconfig. You can get it to work
using a bit of soldering and diode in, say, an isa 2 pcmcia card. You
propably do not want to do this to your laptop :-) assuming you can get
there on a multi layer circuit board. The white lucent passive antenna's
seem to work fine with it. I get a decent range and thing gets
hot; i.e. no clear signs of impedance mismatch issues.
