ThinkPad R51 - 2 PCMCIA slots or 1???

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

We recently purchased 4 R51 laptops. While researching in mid-July the
data sheets showed 2 Ty. 1/2 pcmcia slots. The laptops were delivered
last week. There is a double height pcmcia slot but the top slot can
not be used. The is a plastic tab preventing insertion of a card more
than 1" and there are no pins at the rear of the slot.

Went back onto IBM web site, now the data sheet says only 1 pcmcia
slot. Unfortunately we didn't prion out the original spec sheet.

Anybody purchased an R51 ThinkPad prior to June/July who has 2 usable
slots? Looking for some ammo before we call IBM next week to raise
hell.

James, thanks, if the R51's never had 2 slots I guess I screwed
