The ExpressCard slot is a PC Card slot, that is not backwards compatible with the 32-bit CardBus or 16-bit PCMCIA standard.
There are 2 physical formfactors, ExpressCard/54 and ExpressCard/34. The numbers refer to the width of the ExpressCard in milimeters.
Electronically ExpressCards can be implemented as either PCI-Express or USB
ExpressCard/54 slots can accept ExpressCard/34 cards, but not the other way around.
Linux support
ExpressCard adapters are handled either by the Linux PCI subsystem as hotplug PCI-Express adapters, or by the USB subsystem (depending on the adapter card).
