IIRC a cardbus card won't go into a PCMCIA only slot.. notched
differently at the end. doesn't exactly help when choosing one, but you
can always borrow someone's cardbus card and try it.

Yeah, but the slots I'm talking about are really Cardbus slots. They
accept PCMCIA cards, and the BIOS allows selecting between PCMCIA and
Cardbus. I have an ancient (10 years old) Toshiba Tecra that has 2 such
slots. They aren't individually selectable, so I can use either the wired
network (PCMCIA Netgear 10/100 card) or the wireless (D-Link Cardbus
802.11b card) but not both at the same time :-)
