 oo that's damn good.

 watch out though!  many people make the mistake of buying *full*
PCI-e stuff and going "err".

 i'd recommend using hwtools.net USBMA
http://www.hwtools.net/adapter/USBMA.html to try things out, then if
that works (without having to shell out for the {insert expensive
device which uses internal minipci-format usb cards}) you're good.

 hwtools.net also have a good "Compatibility List" PDF which i've
found very useful in the past for correctly identifying devices which
are definitely usb-only in minipcie form-factor.
