Someone who seemed to know what he was talking about and who's no longer active offered an explaination a few years ago as to why the 2400 will never be fully compliant which goes like this.
The Cardbus specs changed in the middle of Apple's finishing touches to the 2400. What would have made Cardbus work had to be in the ROMs and Apple had to choose between fully debugging the new specs with the ROM software and getting the 2400 and 3400 out the door by it's marketing deadline.
Apparently they ran out of time and crippled the motherboard so they wouldn't have to deal with complaints about flaky 32bit cardbus use. We'll never know if Apple could have pulled it off if they'd had a few more months.
Makes sense to me. Anybody else remember that post?
