Brief Hands-On Report--Apple ExpressCard Update 1.0
This update resolves an issue that prevented the system from sleeping when some cards are inserted in the ExpressCard/34 slot.
This explains why it is only available for a MacBook Pro although Apple doesn't explicitly say so, why we don't know. We tried downloading and installing the updater on our Mac mini Core Duo but when the installer launches a message pops up saying the Mac mini doesn't need the update.
We downloaded the ExpressCard Update 1.0 via Software Update on our MacBook Pro and installed it with no problem. After the requisite restart, we used the MacBook Pro for several hours with AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth devices with no problems. However, we can not do the acid test since we do not have an ExpressCard 34 device yet. We'll be getting a Verizon wireless internet ExpressCard 34 in the near future. [Bill Fox]
