I think there's a 3G PC card as well.

When I had the 728 I always had a WiFi card in the PC Card slot. The only time I take it out is to use the Ethernet card occasionally.

There are TV and radio cards that people are experimenting with hacks for. I think the potential there is interesting. They're not formally compatible though

Does anyone know of a hardware (or software) upgrade available that would allow CardBUS cards to work in the J720? To me, this seems to be a signifigant stumbling block...

There isn't any. H/PC's lack a hardware cardbus controller, and lack software support for cardbus.

It's not to say it can't be hacked in, but it's going to involve 2 levels of hacking.

So it would need both software and hardware upgrades?

If we can get any form of 232-USB adapter working my need for cardbus disappears. I only need USB hosting on my 720s, everything else for me is handled fine by the available pcmcia cards.
