Subject: Thunderbolt ExpressCard/34

Hi Folks;

I just saw this PR release from Sonnet:

http://www.sonnettech.com/product/echoexpresscard34thunderbolt.html

It provides a "ExpressCard/34" so that you can add in additional Express cards, like FireWire 800 via the Thunderbolt port.

The PR says it should be available in October 2011 for $150.00 and then there is the cost of the Express card too (their Firewire 800 card is $100), so your $250 already before shipping or taxes.

Their is no mention of drivers for it either (especially USB 3), so I'm not sure how that part is going to work.

HTH..
