Gary: >> I've never seen a desktop with a PCMCIA bus. Have you? No, I have not yet seen a desktop with included PCMCIA. But, as I mentioned, ALL the mobile stuff has at least one. As mentioned by another person, one can add a slot via a pseudo external floppy drive slot. When I first saw mention of PCMCIA, I thought someone had been smoking something called alsheimer weed. But the number of companies supporting PCMCIA as well as the range of products supported (easily seen in Computer Shopper, for example) has just plain astounded me. So I can see a desktop with some number of built in external PCMCIA slots. And motherboard makers seem to lag a little (some still have VESA slots <g>). But then I have been wrong before <g>.
