You should be able to do at least 3 CD quality streams on a USB 1.1 port.
USB 2 hundreds and Cardbus should be able to do thousands.


So, PC Card is much faster than USB 2? I didn't know that.

Easily verified and absolutely correct.


Why then, have there been fewer and fewer PC card peripherals in recent
years, superseded by USB (1.1) peripherals?

The false assumption is that this is the case. USB 1.1 is good
only for low end slow speed peripherals...a rather large set of
them. USB 2, FireWire, Infiniband, FiberChannel are still
used for higher transfer rates.
