The amazing thing is that I don't think any PDA's
currently support it. (DigiCams, CompactFlash,Do.)
P.S. That microdisk is an IBM product <g>.
I've seen a Pocket Pc using it for holding movies!
I go around spouting this sometimes:
"IBM used to send out its salesmen with little 1/24
models of their Mainframe installations to do site
planning on the desktop first before bringing in the
actual HW. With Moore's Law and the progress of
miniaturization, you could Build a system that big
now that actually works."

You might want to consider not minitaurizing the keyboards and display
quite that much.
And punch cards that size would be difficult to handle.
