Re: [Fed-Talk] Smartcard readers

Title: Re: [Fed-Talk] Smartcard readers
+100,000,000 for Apple swapping 34 with 54. ;) but I don’t see it happening. Just like I don’t see apple adding a native smartcard reader or restoring FW back to the MB. so much for doing what the customer wants. ;)

If Apple would drop ExpressCard/34 and use ExpressCard/54 instead, we
could use readers in the ExpressCard slot.

As it is, the 34mm slot is too small for a card reader.  It's just 2cm
difference!
