Flash memory reader for laptop

Does anyone make a PCMCIA memory card reader that will read all or most formats? I have one made by Sandisk that will read everything but CompactFlash. I can buy one that will do just CF but I need the ability to use any type card as this is my work laptop and different customers have different card types. I don't want to lug around a usb reader. It would be nice to put one reader in the pcmcia slot and be done with it. I've googled this over and over.

Any help?
 
Compact Flash is the stumbling block. It is so wide that it apparently does not allow for other media. As I see it, your best option is to carry two PCMCIA cards - one for C/F and the other for the rest.

I just got a new laptop, and it has slots built in for S/M,SD,XD, and Sony - but not C/F. So, I put a C/F reader/writer in the PCMCIA slot and can handle whatever I need (S/M. C/F and SD.)

There is also a very compact and small USB reader/writer by Imation that has C/F, and then inserted adapters for S/M, S/D and MemStick. In a couple of minutes, I'll post a picture for you.
