PDA/palmtop fans take note: someone's doing a PCMCIA equivalent of the PicoGUS/PicoIDE/PiSCSI/etc., a swiss army knife I/O device but specifically targeting low-power host devices like the HP 200LX, Newton, etc.

modern WiFi! Bluetooth! USB! sound! storage emulation! all the toys.

not sure how useful this will be for PowerBook people, but there were enough PCMCIA Ethernet cards that surely one of them was based on the NE2000 that PicoPCMCIA emulates?
