It is trivial to design a SD card "carrier" that fits in the microdrive slots. The harder part is designing the interface, which is what I believe Peter has done. Peter has taken the capacity of SDHC cards and decided that them acting like HDs is better than them acting like microdrives, but this is separate from physically placing them in the microdrive slots - which is quite feasible as a simple adaption of what he has done. Peter, would you be interested in letting your interface use a SDHC carrier that fits in the MDV slot, if someone else designs/builds it?
