I took him to mean a pccard with an appropriate bridge on a
full-size PCI card. Cards like that are sometimes sold with
wireless cards for desktop PCs or separately with a pair of
slots that can be mounted in a 5 1/4" drive bay. In those
cases, it is a question of what chipset is being used for the
cardbus controller on the pci card. I'm pretty sure others
have used such cards successfully with Plan 9 given the right
chipset.
