They are handy especially if you don't have the conventional or extended/expanded RAM for a full suite of Card-n-socket services. They set the resources of the PCMCIA card directly. They use a phenomenally small amount of resources to do so. They are NOT hot-swap, and the card supposedly can be damaged if you try it. Certainly the OS will puke if you do.
