Well, I use an IBM pc card utility hard drive to service all my
powerbooks, and flash memory type II pc cards to swap files in and out.
There's two.
As you yourself have said, "PCMCIA slots are expansion slots. With a
16bit slot, you can add things like video projection, ethernet, modem,
wireless networking. If you upgrade to 32bit (Cardbus) you can use USB,
Firewire, PCI expansion boxes (drool)... I believe the upgrade is about
$100 from MCE, or less from a listmember (apparently its a pretty easy
mod)."
So why are you puzzled, again?
