external USB PCMCIA adapters are commercially available, such as this http://www.quatech.com/pdf/u142-e.pdf , but they're not cheap, and are sometimes limited to the type of PCMCIA device they can attach to.
Unless you have a "special" PCMCIA adapter that you need to reuse, then it may be more cost-effective to look for a USB device that performs the same function. i.e. USB 3G/HSDPA modems, LAN adapters.

Do you need a USB PCMCIA and a USB 2.0 hub if you want to connect an external hard drive to a laptop?
If one's laptop already has a USB port, a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card and hub are not necessary, as all USB devices can work in any USB port albeit sometimes at a lower speed . However, for maximum speed, if USB 2.0 is not available on the laptop, the USB 2.0 PCMCIA Card can be installed. All you need is a hub and that's assuming that you don't have a spare USB port on your system. If all your USB ports are used, simply attach 1 or more items to the new hub and attach the hub to the resultant free port. I recommend that you choose a hub with 4 or more ports - to allow for future upgrades or additions. Hope this helps. Canis I would recommend a powered hub if you are connecting to a laptop. The buss voltage drops off with multiple items plugged into a laptop.

What is a WiFi PC Card?
Wifi is a standard wireless network protocol. There are many different versions, 802.11a 802.11b all the way up to 802.11g (and now theyve skipped several letters & gone straight to 802.11n). A "wifi card" would be an addon card which adds wifi functionality to a computer... The phrase "wifi card" is also sometimes incorrectly used for USB wifi interfaces, even though they arent technically a card. The generic phrase "PC card" could refer to any of a number of different types of cards. However, it is most often used to refer to PCMCIA type cards, which are addon cards specifically designed for use in notebooks. PCMCIA cards are about the size of a credit card (albeit much thicker) and slide into the PCMCIA slot on a notebook computer. This is preferrable to USB in that PCMCIA cards insert fully (or near fully) into the body of the computer, as opposed to USB addons which usually protrude from the machine & must be removed for travel. So most likely the phrase "Wifi PC card" refers to a PCMCIA 802.11 wireless network card.
