Exactly my complaint to Shawn Geddis the day the MacBook Pro specs
were released.

I would also know if a CAC Reader exists. I have called a few
vendors but have had dead-ends. The issue I have with the USB
CAC reader is the almost 5 foot wire. There used to be a company
called one-o-one that made the K3 smart card reader. The best
thing about this reader was that if fit the old pro keyboards
and had no wires. It was all one piece. I actually still have 3
of them. The issue is that the company went out of business and
the reader does not follow the CCID format. It has it's own
proprietary driver. Does any one know of any vendor that make a
similar product? I also agree that a ExpressCard/34 CAC reader
would be great if it didn't stick out too far.

Just got an earful about the ExpressCard/34 slot in the Mac Book
Pro.
With the standard PCMCIA slots, the entire smart card reader fits
inside the envelope of the machine, not so with ExpressCard/34
slots,
so using an ExpressCard/34 smart card reader (if they exist) has no
advantage over an USB smart card reader, yet another piece of
hardware to haul around or break off if you leave it plugged in.
Are there any applications were ExpressCard/34 slots are an
advantage. (Mac Book Pro has built in 802.11 wireless, bluetooth,
ethernet, USB, and Firewire, that pretty much eliminates must
common
uses of PCMCIA or EpxressCard slots). ExpressCard/34 & 54 are a
faster standard but then you need an application that needs the
speed. It seems smart card readers are only available for
ExpressCard/54 not ExpressCard/34.
Also, given I don't have ExpressCard/34 smart card reader to
show the
end-user, how far does the reader stick out and how fragile is
it (if
it exists)
I found one reference in past emails "The disadvantage to the
express
card format is the reader now sticks out of the computer by
approximately 50-55 mm."
It seems 25 mm is all that should be needed.
