RE: smos cardpc

Hmm, I noticed the pc/104 setup in the hackman, what was the problem with
the edge connector?

If the card has video onboard, and can be extended to support pcmcia,
couldn't you get away with just the cardpc and storage?

Is part of the problem that the P4/5 isn't standard vga?

Do you regret the cardpc because of the cost?
