     As I said earlier, PCMCIA is already present on desktop machines.
There are some that come from factory with PCMCIA slots, and Adaptec
sells an adaptor to put a PCMCIA slot in any machine with an ISA bus.
I expect more desktop machines to have PCMCIA slots in the future.
Also all current desktop machines have APM.

     I don't think it is needed, given that the main things that would
be discussed on this list are present on i386 desktop machines as
well.
