Hei Tonko,

i'm a bit bothered about the separate PCMCIA, CardBus and ExpressCard slot pages. The thing is that all of them are part of the PCMCIA specification, hence all of them are in fact PCMCIA slots. From the bus type view we can still keep them on separate pages since they surely require different driver support etc. . From the physical view they are all PC Card slots since PC Card is the name of the mechanical form factor.

However, while i first wanted to suggest joining the pages, i would now say that we should keep them separate. But please be careful with the explanations. CardBus is not backwards compatible with PCMCIA, it is PCMCIA. This is a common misunderstanding. See the PCMCIA and PC Card pages.
