It seems to be a 16-bit bus/32-bit bus thing, so that you can't put a
32-bit cardbus into a 16-bit PC. I gather the pinouts are different.

Funnily enough it also seems that http://www.pcmcia.org/pccard.htm doesn't have
enough detailed physical info, apart from broad outside dimensions, to compare where
the tolerances are. Maybe you need to be a member to get the details.
Good luck, Martin.

Subject: [SLUG] [OT] PCMCIA card woes
Has anyone ever come across a problem where a PCMCIA type 2 card will not
seat down onto the connectors because of a problem with the different
heights of the side guidance slots.
Basically my 3Com PCMCIA NIC has died (I suspect the dongle but it is not
replaceable), and the Surecom replacement won't go in. Looking at it
closely I see a physical difference in the side guides. The PC is a
geriatric Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDS
Any pointers would be a help.
