There are instances in some of my ideas for custom enclosures where I'd like to have the EOMA-68 card vertical relative to the PCB. I have not yet found a PCMICA connector that does that.
-- Not 100% essential - make a small PCMCIA connector board and mount it vertically, and hold it rigidly in place with bracket or the case walls. (About to make something like that after I get a MEB2. It does seem to waste a lot of material though.)
