I believe that the dongle (on the card edge latching end) was no
taller than the PCMCIA type-I card that it connected to, so I don't
think there would be a height problem, assuming you mean height in the
thickness-of-PCMCIA-type-I-card sense.

Not that I'm seriously promoting this as THE RIGHT ANSWER vis-a-vis
HDMI (although my personal experience with HDMI connectors is that
they are fragile relative to the weight and stiffness--and thereby
force-on-the-connector--of the HDMI cable itself). Just throwing the
information out there...

Mechanically, modern USB and HDMI type connectors really leave
something to be desired, IMHO.
