[Arm-netbook] cost of pcmcia connectors

[Justin Cormack]

Looking through Digikey, pcmcia connectors that are available, and RoHS
compliant are few and far between and cost about $7 plus in small
quantities for the motherboard header alone, and are mostly non stock items.

eg this is a typical basic socket, which is still $5 in thousands.

Anyone got better sources or are we causing issues by using an obsolete
connector?
