Uhh, you knew I couldn't let this pass without protest ;-)

The nell design is very simple, adequate for the sbus and bendable
into shape by the driver for just about every pcmcia card in existence
and even some more odd ones you could imagine. It has some restrictions
due to its simplistic aproach, but I've yet to see a real world card
exposing those.

If you call that "like an i386 based chip" - ok.

But not pcmcia? ;-}
