Instead of designing a completely new board that had full support for Pentium class architecture and features, Toshiba modified the older ones. That would explain the lack of USB support and no 32-bit cardbus. I imagine if Toshiba had designed it to fully support the Pentium in the L50/70, the price would have been significantly higher than what it was, which was still pretty pricey back then. Just my .02.
