Re: PCMCIA Firewire adapters? (was Re: External USB hard disks?)
I don't have personal experience with any PCMCIA firewire adapters, but this
page may help you:

Note that very likely what you want is a CardBus card, rather than a PCMCIA
card. Strictly speaking, PCMCIA is the ISA bus in a small form factor to fit in
a laptop slot. CardBus cards look the same, but they are PCI bus cards and so
have both much higher performance and less impact on the host computer.
The main reason to choose PCMCIA over cardbus is when the host OS doesn't
support it yet; for example, the BeOS never shipped with CardBus support, but
Linux does support it.
