The specification says: 

----------
PCCard Support: 
O2Micro OZ6933 controller
1 Type III or 2 Type II / Type I

>From that I understand that my slot is able to connect two small 
PCMCIA cards (type I and II) or one fat card. But they are 
non-Cardbus cards. Right? 

But that would mean that the problem I had in BL3 is not due to 
Cardbus incompatibility.
