Isn't the PCMCIA slot much slower that USB2 which will slow down the card?
Tom
Technically, it is a Card Bus slot. All Powerbooks since the Wallstreet have them and it is more than enough for USB 2, or firewire, and I guess probably firewire 800 too.
The PCMCIA actually became PC Card, before the new Card Bus standard arrived (32 bit vs 16 bit, offering a wider data path and more speed), but often people use these monikers almost interchangeably.
I am not an expert on this, but this how I understand it. More knowledgeable people, do feel free to elucidate!
