I took this to mean that CardBus doesn't seem to be very popluar for
_serial devices_ rather than in general. I would imagine the companies
don't want to build two products when PCCARD is fast enough for their
modem. Who would want to build a CardBus only modem and cut themselves
off from a bigger customer base with just PCCARD?
I don't know if that is what the original author meant, but you're
right, it seems like most new laptops have cardbus. At the "big name"
ones that I am somewhat familiar with.
