They are indeed brilliant - Kodak, Sandisk among many others make a generic adaptor. You can boot any PCMCIA PowerBoook up to & including the Wallstreet with one. Drive Setup will format them as Mac disks, but you can leave them as PC disks to swap data with PC notebooks if you want. Dozens of times faster than a floppy and much more reliable. Speed is generally better than, say, a SCSI Zip (and much more handy). Mine just sits in the slot most of the time to back up projects in progress.128MB ones are getting reasonably cheap now (about $40 I saw recently somewhere).
