Is this laptop available?

Hi all.

I have someone who is looking to replace his laptop but has a tall order (I think).
He needs: A Serial Port and a PCMCIA card reader. Must have 1TB HDD and a webcam.

Any ideas as to if there is such a beast available or is there somewhere I can "build" one.

I doubt it.

You can use a USB-Serial adapter to get a Serial port (often good enough for most purposes, although not a 100% replacement for a true hardware serial port).

And you can get Expresscard to PCMCIA adapters, which may take care of that requirement.

Care to explain the reasons for these specific requirements?
