Has anyone tried any of these types of products? That would be a nice
way to add cards to a Qube, you can get twin adapters so you could try
USB and firewire PCMCIA cards at the same time. Or even if we'd be
limited to using one at a time, it would still be easier to switch
cards around since you would not have to open up the case. Like the
ELAN P111 <http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/adapter/p111.php>.
It looks like some support started in NetBSD 1.5?

Does it work OK on the Qube?
I just happen to have a bunch of PCMCIA cards hanging around gathering
dust :) so the cost for one adapter to make a few of them work on the
Qube would not be unreasonable to think about.
Thanks,
Brian
