Hi Jon, > Well, be careful what you wish for: it _has_ two slots, but only one is > usable at a time according to my reading of their point-of-sale > propaganda > (one is type III and one is type II). > as I understand this "Type II / Type III" stuff is that a Type III PC-Card is twice as thick (usually) as a Type II, thus you can fit only one Type III card into the slot. Type III devices, I believe, can be things like disk-drives and such, needing both PC-busses to transfer data at a 'reasonable' rate. I could be wrong about this last. AFAIK you can have 2 x Type II devices in the machine at the same time. at this time (V4.0 - it may have changed last week with the release of 4.1) there is limited (read 'almost none') support for Cardbus cards, which are 32-bit (vs the 'old' 16bit PC-Card). Of course, I may just be wrong ;') hth, haxxa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
