Rat,
Thanks for the details! I was mostly thinking about the bus, never thought
about the physical form. I think you can still stick a cardbus card in a
non-cardbus slot.

On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage. Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted.
