I know there are such things as PCMCIA IDE adapters (or at least the
specs for them, since CompactFlash cards act like PCMCIA IDE devices
when you put them in the $10 CF-PCMCIA adapter). I don't know how
well they work, though. I'd imagine a lot of the "external
CD-ROM/DVD" devices for laptops are IDE-based, though.
