(I AM SURE THIS topic has been brought up before...?)

I have been reading a recent discussion regarding using flash memory cards, 
w/ PC card adapters, in PC card slots as a way to use virtual RAM (and even as 
a HD) in PC Card usin' powerbooks....

NOW I am "hot in the tushie(!)" to find a way to use a PC card in ... a Duo!! 

Here be my questions....

1) Surely there are external PC card readers that connect via SCSI ports to 
provide PC card abilities to early powerbooks?

2) Assuming #1 is a "yes" shouldn't there also be a way to use a PC card 
modem with a duo? or is there a software problem w/ that idea?

3) Would it be possible to replace the SCSI HD in a Duo 210-280c with a PC 
card reader, for a large Flash Card w/ a PC card adapter? (and to that end...)

4) On the Duo 2300c's Mobo, there is a SCSI and a IDE connector for HDs. I am 
wondering would it be possible to make the internal SCSI HD connector into a 
PC card reader?

Let me know...
