Luke,
I took a quick glance at the Wikipedia entry and saw what I thought was an error and I will fix the problem if you can confirm that I understand the situation correctly.
The wikipedia article says the following:
"""
There are two different physical profiles of EOMA68 (based around the legacy PCMCIA classifications):[2]
54 mm × 85.6 mm; 5mm variant (Type II) 54 mm × 85.6 mm; 3.3mm variant (Type I)
Type I is reserved for up to 1366x768 RGB/TTL video output; Type II is reserved for up to 1920x1080 RGB/TTL video output, on the basis that a Type I 3.3mm card may fit into a Type II 5.0mm socket but not vice versa. Thus, a module with a lower-capacity video output will physically be prevented from being used with incompatible higher-resolution devices, preventing any possible confusion about interoperability.
type I 3.3mm.... no! that's wrong! well spotted. i believe i added that in a hurry without checking.
It's worth pointing out that the specification on elinux.org is
"is inconsistent." I was trying to say but apparently I just stopped typing.
Under "Physical Dimensions" it says there are two valid sized, Type II which is 5mm and Type III which is 8mm.
Under "Requirements for RGB/TTL" it refers to 5mm and 3.3mm cards, but not 8mm.

Thought you should know :)
