PCMCIA trace legnth can be up to 1 meter, and I have a PCI PCMCIA controler
card in my computer right now, and those cables are close to .5 meter long.

Maybe this can be done after all!

Responding to Tyler Smith's comment:
||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?
