I'd have to go back and check on that.  Although I can't conceive of just
what you'd want to add in via PC card that isn't already there.

I was, of course, only being facetious.  This list will survive.  At a
minimum, I'll be keeping a Duo 230 with which to run all the *really* old
stuff off my MacPlus...  I suspect, though, that 12" Powerbook users will
have a different list than this.  After all, they MUST run OS X.  And many
of us run OS versions that are MUCH older.
