It might be true for WinCE: I don't know for sure. We've seen a prototype
(without plastic and battery), and think we see the second slot: we aren't
quite sure we're getting it powered on at this instant. We keep angling
to get one: we'll have our own BackPaq design back shortly from fab, which
shares some of the same design, which Jamey's been debugging.

So I don't think it will be a big issue for Linux, which certainly supports
multiple PCMCIA cards.
