Yes, it is exactly what you think it is:

an additional number pad you can flip out of the #notebook bay:

@derPUPE why did I read "sorry" instead of "Sony"? 😆

@derPUPE
Now, **that** is something I want for *every* portable computer with a hardware keyboard!

@derPUPE it's like the butterfly thinkpad, but for accountants

ThinkPad-Museum

@derPUPE Great idea, even though very special interest! Beside other curious modules, ThinkPads had also had this option. 💻🔴

@derPUPE did a double take to check this isnt one of @NanoRaptor s creations

@derPUPE though your "it is exactly what you think it is" was slightly off…I thought it was a PCMCIA card with number-pad, not a notebook bay numpad. 😛

But that is a wild bit of hardware!

@derPUPE Wild that this exists at all -- I kind of miss laptops having bays with just `stuff` in them

@derPUPE Loved using the top right Bullshit button in mine

WooShell

@derPUPE Can't tell whether real or NanoRaptor..

:jan:‍:abreath:‍‍🌬:dandelion:

@derPUPE this is the kind of stuff I want available for the #framework laptops

@derPUPE I thought this was a NanoRaptor post until I looked it up.

@Eunakria
But it would be interesting to see what @NanoRaptor comes up with when she sees this 😁

@derPUPE
I've never had a Vaio with enough space for additional internal modules (n505x, c1-xd) 😬

@derPUPE Everybody was Excel fighting. False numbers fast as lightning. I'll admit it was a little bit "right-wing". But they fought with excellent auto-summing.

@derPUPE UltraBay was such a great feature. I think people tend to see ThinkPad as a rather stuffy old-fashioned kind of brand these day, but they were really innovative back in the day.

@derPUPE I had the same laptop with a MiniDisc drive ❤️

@derPUPE that's so nuts it's almost like @NanoRaptor made it :D

Nazo

@derPUPE So, uh... I have to ask the obvious question, but, uh... What happens if your PCMCIA ports are on the left side instead?

Every laptop I had with PCMCIA had it on the left, lol.

@derPUPE personally i love that those Vaios could alternately get a modular bay "subwoofer"

@derPUPE @blaurascon This is simultaneously really nifty and super cursed lmao
