It might also be possible to use one of the external SCSI PC card readers
designed to connect desktop Macs to Compact Flash and Smartmedia adaptor
cards. I wouldn't expect them to support Cardbus, and they'd probably be
best (or only) suited to disk or pseudo-disk storage cards, but that might
address the need for an extra or two. Check a digital camera site.
