    Only Apple would be so impractical as to include only a 34mm expresscard slot in this day and age :p

    All the other manufacturers figure--if you're gonna include an expresscard slot, might as well include the whole thing :p

    the apple heads figured the 34mm was a smaller number than 54 and the 34 was smaller in general and less weight

    There are really cheap pcmcia card bus's right now for people who still have some pcmcia devices.

    They look like this.
