@discatte back in the day I thought PCMCIA would supplant other expansion card formats, even on desktop.
My logic was that device manufacturers could make one expansion card for laptops and desktops. I had visions of a small form factor desktop PCs with a whole row of PCMICA slots around back instead of ISA/PCI/whatever.
Alas, I am frequently wrong.

@discatte It is deeply ironic that the way I remember PCMCIA is "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms".

@discatte I had a PIII (self-built) tower with front mounted 2 PCMCIA slots circa 1999.
I was clearly the coolest around, but it would have been much cooler with a bank of 8 slots stacked like books on the rear.
