Hot swapping? That's got to be fun, considering that this has to be in PCI slot.

Hot swapping of PCMCIA cards, #1...
Now someone can fill in the obvious wife swapping jokes.

My point #2 is that this has to be in a PCI slot to work. Thus it must be, at best, awkward to remove and plug in a different PCMCIA card into it (like those damn USB slots at the bottom of a machine). Unless the back bottom of your machine is easily accessable, you get to go spagetti dust diving.

Yeah, they oughta have this thing with a 3.5" drive bay adapter, and have the PCMCIA card slot in the front of the PC.
This would really be helpful if you lived in the boonies and were forced to use something like Sprint Broadband, where they give you a PCMCIA adapter, but you want to use it with your desktop. But I agree, the back of the computer usually isn't all that easy to get to.
