That something else I didn't know: "CardBus" not being physically
interchangeable with PCMCIA. I've been wondering whether all those terms
were 'marketingspeak' or reflected actual differences. My 'Google' shot

Sounds like I have pretty good hopes the end-of-life card will run in my 
back-from-death Toshiba.
