Apple today released ExpressCard Update 1.0 which “resolves an issue that prevented the system from sleeping when some cards are inserted in the ExpressCard/34 slot.”
System Requirements
• Mac OS X 10.4.7
• MacBook Pro
ExpressCard Update 1.0 is available via Software Update and also as a standalone installer.

The Airport ExpressCard. Don’t Leave 127.0.0.1 Without It.
Well it’s about freaking time! Just kidding.
I’m all for making slots happy especially when it comes to needing sleep.
I supposed there are few psyched people out there. Are there cards available for that slot yet?
No cards for the slot yet, just for the slut.
Anyone out there hear a rumor when Sprint will release a PCS connection card for the ExpressCard/34 slot? I heard Verizon’s is already out.
BTW – Kudos to Apple for including the PCS software with the 10.4.7 update. No installation required – unlike the other platform. I don’t even have to change the location anymore, just plug it in and it works!
Here’s my list of cards that are available. It’s not long, but these area all the ones out there that can support Macs. I keep it updated as news is released.

Rasterbator, that was pretty funny. I guess I’m officially a geek now. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
Actually there is a card out there for the MacBook Pro.
Vodaphone has released one for 3g connection.
The Seritek SATA 2 card is awsome looking, especially with the Firmtek dual hot-swapable 2-drive external SATA drive bay. Very cool. Might have to get one of these setups for my MB Pro.
