YES.
There are, or at least WERE, 8 bit ISA PCMCIA adapters.
Okay, now I've got to ask: Anything like this for
a 1981 8088 PeeCee?
There are ISA adapters for PCMCIA. There are adapters to plug
CF into
PCMCIA dlots. To clarify: I want to add "solid state"
storage to a 1982
IBM PC rev B. machine (to see if I can get any faster I/O than the MFM drive
hooked up here)
That would certainly reduce the I/O bottleneck,
but 4.77 MHz will never be "fast".
