Pros and cons of 1 slot vs. 2 and which size this--or longer one for smallish elderly lady, very limited mobility?

I have extreme weakness and I found this board to be very heavy. Two slots is the better way to go though and the smaller board would probably be better for a smaller individual, otherwise the slot might be too far away to manager placing the board correctly.

This is great. The slots make it easy to pull out once they slid over. So when they slid the one slot might be under them and you will have the other to pull so you can get the board out. This works great. the longer one will be to long unless you are trying to get her into a car then you would need the longer one. For the house the longer one will probably be to long.

Easier with two slots to handle, but too small for any adult. Was unable to use for my elderly mom. She was very small.

One slot makes it hard to remove the board when sitting on it. Best to use two. 24"-30" board should be adequate. Try to find a board that has some rubber on the bottom of each end if you can find. Keeps the board fromsliding with the transferee. :-)

I myself would rather have two slots instead of one. It wouldn't need to be turned a certain way to pick it up by the slot. It also gives you a handhold at both ends as you transfer. I use mine to transfer from wheelchair to car seat and vice versa. I am a smaller woman but I only use it for vehicle transfers. If I were going to use a transfer board in my house for getting into the bed and such then I would want a longer board. I have upper body strength but no mobility in my legs so this one works great for me. Hope this helps.

Easy, The longer you have it, the more you are slide onto the toilet or bed. One slot would be too small, even for a small lady such as yourself.

In my experiences on two units, this card style fits the larger pcmcia slot on the sides of most laptops. Some of the newer laptops have a narrower slot as well for an express style card. In my experience, most laptops only have one pcmcia slot alloted. You could get a 2.0 USB G, N or Dual Band WIFI unit thereby allowing you to replace your older pcmcia WIFI card and solve the issue and gaining more usbs as well at the end of the day. The USB ones are around $ 20.00

If you fit them really tight, you could fit 8 or 9 max. It's much harder on the pocket bindings and hard to get them in/out however, so I've found that 4 per slot is the max I'd recommend.

It has just the 2 slots, sorry. I carry my license and one credit card, which works great for me, and I find adding a second card to either slot to be way too snug for my fingers.

48, as it gives you many more options if needed. But if space an issue, go with smaller one. Blessings.

There's not much to it.Just don't force ,and have the card facing up.There are two slots.I find it a great way to move information.

Hello Jayne, go for the bigger one. You never go wrong. Small has no room to expand if you want to do bigger.I bought mine at a thrift store for 10 dollars and works fine. Enjoy.

This is better for travelling, hotel for example where the outlet is temporarily in use. Where space is a concern a smaller model might be more appropriate.

I only have 1 in mine but definitely think it's fine for two. Very happy with this item!

I bought one also for a heigt of two feet. It works but is a little steep for a wheelchair. I would recommend a longer one if you have the room for it.

3 by a large margin. Only get the 2 if you are space limit. The 3 is much more versatile.

I would not use 2 as you suggest. Once you get it really tightened down, it's not going to move laterally with any freedom.

There is room for only one, technically, but you can "fit" one in the bay intended for the front card reader/floppy drive. However, the screws will not line up properly.

I'm a little late answering, but better late than never! We actually ordered for a compact and it will work, but it's not wide enough to cover the entire slot. We just centered it and there's like an eighth of an inch of the slot visible on each side.

nope, and personally I wouldn'tget the large one. I had the medium one and sold it to go smaller. the movements your arm has to make just to move the curser is enourmus. and it takes up a lot of desk real estate. people could rebuff this by saying you can tailor the active area to suit your needs. but then why would you pay for the big one when your just going to make it smaller anyway.

yes it will. just put it into slot one, but go ahead and get 2 because they're really cheap anyways

Did you read the user guide? I bought mine at least five years ago, but here's what it says: The smaller slot is for Secure Digital, Multimedia Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, and xD Picture Cards. The larger slot will accept Compact Flash cards. I think the Smartparts is confusing to use, poorly designed. It also won't always accept a USB thumbdrive (Smartparts customer service advised against using one). Sorry I can't offer more assistance, but perhaps you've solved the problem by now.
