Is the hinged slot on the underside of the Jornada 702 and 728 able to be used for I/O or is the slot only able to be used for memory extension?

I would like to use a Compact Flash Wifi card in this hinged CF slot but I don't want to buy one only to find that the Wifi must come through the PCMCIA slot on the left side below the keyboard.

As far as I know you could use a compact flash WiFi card in there but then you wouldn't be able to close the trapdoor with the WiFi card inside.

Also, if you loaded any programs to your CF storage card, they will not be accessable with the wifi-cf in place inthe hinged CF slot on the bottom. So all wifi programs and s/w should be loaded to main memory. You could get a CF to PC Card adapter (usually $5-7 on the bay) and use it in the L-PC Card slot and not have to fiddle with what program is where.
