OK, so we're talking about a an "adapter" not an actual drive? I can't comment on an adapter, but I do have a PCMCIA Hard drive. A little 2gb Toshiba I think. It shows up as an IDE device. It's hot-swappable. Works great! I'm surprised it hasn't died in the about 5 years of slight abuse it gets hanging around in the laptop or ipaq, etc...
