You could always use it as a PC card reader   :-p

No and no. I tried using mine with a PC card modem, it didn't work.
 From my experience, you can use it as a card reader only.

I would imagine that any PCMCIA memory card would work
or any compact flash card with adapter will work too.

I don't know if you could boot off of a memory card, but at
least you can use it for storage space.

It's a good card reader and it's a lot faster than trying to use a
serial cable to transfer images from a digital camera. You need
a built in PC card slot, such as the ones found on 2400s or 1400s
to be able to use modems, ethernet cards, etc.
