I have a project for work that uses a PCMCIA 4gb memory card to record data, but many of our users do not have a laptop with a PCMCIA slot to read the data. I am looking for a simple USB to PCMCIA adapter, but they don't seem to be very common. And I'm not even sure if I'm looking at the right thing. We are using this PCMCIA card simply as a data storage device, and it was designed before SD cards, memory sticks, etc. so redesigning is no really an option at this point. Any help? Thanks!

There are such things as external PCMCIA reader/adapters. They can be parallel port or USB. Here is an example currently available in Europe.
