It's PCI Express, not PCMCIA.
I found these two and couldn't decide among them:
http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?227223
http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?294904
Both around $90 after shipping and tax, which is a non-trivial amount of money for me.
Especially since I have no guarantees whatsoever that they'll (a) work, or (b) end up
on a non-crowded interrupt line.
I suppose I could try it and then RMA it back if it doesn't work.

My spiffy new ASUS laptop that I thought was so great, is saddled with the
dreaded Ricoh firewire chip (as well as having it on a shared interrupt
with, well, *everything*).
I note that pcmcia cardbus firewire cards generally cost less than 60 bucks.
I have no idea which currently manufactured ones work well with linux, or if
your pcmcia slot is also sharing irqs with everything....
