Now this does open up the question as to why Apple didn't leave CardBus enabled. I could see it being a problem if it meant adding parts/labor, but it sounds like both solutions mentioned here are removing a circuit. Then again, maybe they didn't know they had a problem until later in production, at which time they fixed the Japanese Mighty Cats. LifeIzCoo said>>> > folks, here is low down.
