Most laptops connect using the newer ExpressCard slot, some laptops come with the older PCMCIA slot. Both ExpressCard and PCMCIA ranges have either 1 or 2 ports in either RS232 or RS422/485.
PCMCIA is the classic way of adding connectivity to laptops. Increasingly new laptops are coming without PCMCIA slots and using the new ExpressCard slots instead.
