	Urgh.  That would suck...hang on while I check....

	Well, I just went and re-read the spec sheet on their site, and
I'm feeling cautiously optimistic, because of the following quotes:

	* "Standard VGA-Port connection to laptop"
	* "In the future, eShades will connect to a variety of devices,
including PDAs, handsets, game consoles, and portable DVD players."

	These imply to me that it's a standard cable-to-port connection,
no PCMCIA required.
