Topic: Multiface I with Laptop

I've got an original Multiface that still works great.  I'm moving away from my desktop PC to only use a laptop.  Is there any way to be able to use the Multiface with the laptop?  It's running Win10.  It has USB 3 & USB C connectors.  The docking station I use has a Thunderbolt port.

External PCIe chassis, for example Sonnet. If you still have a PCI card (not PCIe) it gets more complicated. Not sure such expansion chassis are still available.

No way to connect without Cardbus slot (or external adapter, but not via USB), sorry.
