Actually, the eMate uses the same Voyager chipset as the MP2x00, so
it should be possible to hack a second pcmcia controller into it...
though the easiest way would likely involve a dead 2x00 mainboard to
remove parts from.
Plus, you'd have to mount it without using really long leads that
would damage the signal... maybe an internal CF or PCMCIA slot that
you had to disassemble the eMate to get to?
