That doesn't mean anything. As far as I know, such utilities have no way
of determining whether a given 2400 is CardBus enabled or not. The
original 2400 has all the CardBus hardware; Apple just disabled detection
of 32-bit CardBus cards via a jumper or two on the motherboard (apparently
because they discovered compatability problems with certain cards late in
the development process). Tattletech, etc., can't tell whether the
disabling jumpers are present, so no matter what kind of 2400 you have,
such utilities will tell you your computer is CardBus capable.
To put it another way, I haven't seen a single report of any utility which
detects CardBus/not-CardBus telling a 2400 owner their machine did not have
CardBus. Not even one.
