Sure:
	I just sold a PC-104, 2 slot PCMCIA board on ebay for ~$30.00, 
made by Advantech, they come up a fair amount. I highly recommend the 
route you're taking, the one other thing you'll need is an ISA or PCI 
reader for your host system, and you can usually get them for ~$20.00 on 
ebay as well. As a side note, you can sometimes find PC/104 boards that 
accept disk-on-chip, which have some speed and power consumption 
advantages (minor) but are much more of a pain to set up (at least from my 
experience).
