Right, but that just means we should have a 'form factor' part of the
listing. I don't think a PCI-E listing would have helped you if it also
listed mini-pci-e or expresscard.

I think it would be smarter to group them all under PCI, but have a
form-factor there. While not exactly correct technically, it would be
easier to use.
