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.
