Slightly off-topic, but: does anyone know of a way to get the Ricoh
SD/MMC (or similar) controller packaged in something suitable for my
desktop PC (or even a laptop with CardBus)?  I'd love to have more
options for testing libertas SDIO cards without having to dedicate a
laptop that comes with that controller.  The cheapo laptops I've seen
(ex: EEE PC) seem to always have a mass-storage-only USB SDIO/MMC
interface and the Ricoh controller seems to come on more expensive
laptops (ex: ThinkPad T61).  Does anyone know of a PCI card or
something similar that will do the job and doesn't cost a ton of
money?  Thanks,
