M90 ExpressCard 54: PCl or PCLe?

I don't know the difference between the ExpressCard 54 types, but have an M90 and want to dedicate the slot for a Compact Flash reader. Does the M90 use PCL or PCLe and is there any real difference between these two? I use 16GB UDMA Compact Flash for my camera (currently use SanDisk Extreme IV 45 MB/s). I'd of course prefer the faster reader if it'll work in my M90, as CF cards keep getting faster. A downside to the first card is it isn't available in US directly, but can be had off eBay.

This option is the PCLe:

This one is slower PCl:

Here's another, but gets some mixed reviews on fit & function.

From what I understand you can use any Express card 34 and 54 mm in size using a 26 pin i/f.

So as long as your buying a adaptor that works with your compact flash card you should be OK
