You may not be aware of this but the "expressCard" standard is a bus
interconnect -- a way of connecting the PCI-express bus to an extension
card in a form-factor suitable for your laptop.

There are many different types of "expressCard" connected devices --
network cards, SCSI or SATA adapters, network cards, etc -- all of which
are very different in function.

You will probably not find any shop that caries the complete range of
possibilities -- and you *will* get better recommendations if you
actually specify /what/ type of device you actually want to connect to
this bus.


At the moment your request is, basically, no different to asking is
anyone knows a shop that sells "PCI card" -- essentially meaningless.
