Yeah, but the trick is to find an 3.3V PCI POST card.
I finally got it from
http://www.postcodemaster.com/products2.htm
It is
PCI Version Part #PCIPCM-11
The one listed on their web page is an 5V, but if you ask they can modify
it for you so that it works with 3.3V PCI.
In fact I just got it today and I was able to use it to get POST codes
from IBM ThinkPad T23 which has 3.3V MiniPCI slot (I would use here IM300
MiniPCI->PCI adapter), and which would not work with my old 5V post card.
Also they have an MiniPCI POST card (#MINIPCM-10) which could be used
directly without adapter, but I have not tested this one.
