I'm pretty sure just about any random ISA-PCMCIA adapter will work
just fine with the "pcic" driver.
As for PCI-PCMCIA adapters -- that's a bit trickier ... we do have
a PCI front-end for the "pcic" driver, but it was only really
ever used with a Cirrus chip in some older laptops.
On the other hand, if the PCI adapter you get is a CardBus adapter,
it should work pretty well.
