Do modern laptops still have Expresscard slots?
I don't think so. My 2-year-old laptop only offers USB ports and an
SD card
slot.
I understand that SD cards can be other things than storage - I think
there are SD
wifi cards, for example.
The SD WiFi cards are a more exotic beast altogether than a peripheral
device. They are ~70MHz Linux computers all on their own:

Ah, thanks! Fascinating!
So how about a similar tiny linux computer that serves Firewire data & commands
between the Firewire device and the SD port?
