The reason Cardbus is not officially supported in the 3400 is that technology 
marched on and the Cardbus cards took on a slightly different shape.

There are three physical card types I am aware of:

1) true PCMCIA: PCMCIA keying, no copper shield around the connector,

2) Semi Cardbus: Cardbus keying, otherwise identical to a PCMCIA as there is 
no copper shield around the connector, and

3) true Cardbus: Cardbus keying, with Cardbus required copper shield around 
the connector.

There appears to be three card cages to match the above card configurations.

(2) type cards will easily fit a (1) type card cage, if the upper key bit is 
removed.
