Express card solutions for digital out via Laptop?

As the title suggests, I was wondering if there are any Express card solutions which can provide digital output as coax and/or toslink from a laptop?  Personal caveats:

 

1-I'm a Thinkpad user and have been through life and death w/ them.  Not switching to Apple, HP, Dell or whatever already has it.

2-USB is not an option.

3-I don't need a DAC or amp built in.  I have my own standalone solutions.

 

Basically, I just want to be able to convert my Thinkpad to a digital transport.

 

Thanks in advance!

I have the advanced mini dock for my t61p, and it has a coax digital out. I haven't used that output however, as I have nothing with a digital in, so I can't speak as to the quality. I've been planning on grabbing a Fiio d3 to make use of it.  Link:   http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-61297.html

Thanks, I knew about the dock but it hardly seems like something portable.  I guess 'transport' has a rather wide berth in definition.  biggrin.gif
