Actually, they DID build their laptops to the standard, they just used the established PCMCIA I/II standard that was around at the time. Notice that very few laptops even from other brands built in the era of the L50/70 has full Cardbus support (from what I gather only the really high end ones such as the Tecra 500 series had them, under the guise of 'PCMCIA 2.01'). Besides which, your processor doesn't even go fast enough to make full use of the 12MBit/s USB1.0 anyway let alone the 480Mbit/s of USB2.0 (remember, USB does NOT have its own processor, unlike firewire so its the processor that does all the hard work). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
