My thinking was that Apple _probably_ used the same PCMCIA chipset in the
MP2x00 and the eMate(Why reinvent the wheel?), so perhaps swapping the
single slot adapter for a dual would do the trick.

I contemplated mounting a 2x00 board in the eMate case, but that would
require pigtailing lots of things includign the screen cable.

A 'non-accessible' slot would be OK for a Wifi card, but anything requiring
a cable connection needs to be accessed from outside the eMate.

Still pondering.
