No. You can get an (external) adapter to go from CF to PCMCIA, but the power draw for a PCMCIA-based HD (I'm guessing on what you want to use with it) would probably fry it's poor little circuits.

Thanks,

The PCMCIA card I am talking about is a flash memory card much like a CF card except it has a PCMCIA interface.

My father-in-law has a PCMCIA device that plugs into an ISA slot and uses up a 5.25 bay of his desktop.
He keeps wanting to upgrade computers but not many motherboards have ISA any more.

Supports SmartMedia, CompactFlash type I, CompactFlash type II, SecureDigital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Microdrive and MultiMedia cards
What's missing from this list of media types? Also, can you get a reader that does every single type? How man would that be? I'd like to get one of these that reads everything out there.
