PCMCIA
I was wondering if there's a way--perhaps through some sort of adapter-- to add extra PCMCIA slots to a laptop?

Any laptop that doesn't have enough modern ports will not be worth the cost of such a device. Any laptop that is worth anything will have 99% of the ports you need. Why do you need the extra ports is a better question.

My notebook is a 5 year old sony vaio (pcg-grx560).
