He then becomes and Ex-mate and the PCMCIA card then
comunicates with smoke signals I suppose ;-) This is an
obvious draw back and no different to people pluging wrong
RCA plugs into the wrong places i.e SPDIF into video, video
into annalog etc. I do not know from personal experience
*if* damge will occur but the manual does make a point of
saying that damge will occur. Just don't do it.

BTW I use a lot of CAT5 as speaker cable as well so I have
this stuff running everywhere :-)
