- In 2010 pcmcia was acquired by the USB Implementers forum and all work has been focussed
on usb only with nothing on pcmcia.
- pcmcia is only still used as a legacy requirement on industrial computing systems for
machine control etc.
pcmcia was introduced originally for laptop use.
- All new laptops have no pcmcia slot. Searching on amazon for laptop with pcmcia gave
55 results none of which had any pcmcia capability.
- Based on the above the package pcmciautils is being removed from IPFire.
