 ... but for EOMA-CF that's an entirely different matter.  the thing's
too small, and the casework is typically plastic anyway, it'll need a
custom design because we won't get the connectors on the front of a
standard bit of CF plastic.

 so there _yes_, putting memory card connectors in the centre of the
card is sensible.... _if_ there's a big enough space to put it!  it's
incredibly tight for space...
