But note that the upper half of the slot opening wouldn't fit if you
tried to insert a second Type I card. It's not just the electronics part,
the case itself would have to be modified (slightly) to accomodate a
second card. I suppose that this would be the easiest obstacle to
overcome, but still it suggests that Apple didn't ever plan to provide a
second CF card slot.
