Let me put my $.02 into this...

I *just* tried a USB cardbus card in my 2400c/320 and my 3400c/180 while both 
were running; The cards each fit easily into both machines' card cages. Here 
are the results:

The 2400c (OS9.1) immediately gave me a "Finder Needs Attention" message. 
After that, the mouse moved around, but nothing could be chosen. Color it 
frozen...

The 3400c (OS8.6) did not see the card at all, BUT I do not have any USB 
software installed on the 3400c, whihc of course comes with the OS9 on the 2400c...

So, I guess my 2400c is not cardbus...
