Is there such a thing as a PCMCIA (16bit) like ribbon cable type of thing? I'm working on a hard to explain project, but basically I'd like to beable to connect a 16bit PCMCIA card I have directly to the male PCMCIA pins inside my PowerBook 1400 via some sort of ribbon so I can have the card physically outside of the computer. Please don't ask why it's a really long story but it's pretty important to me. I'm sure something like this must exist for like testing purposes or whatever.

Anybody know where I can find such a thing?

Since this is so custom (I doubt such a beast exists), why don't you build it yourself? I bet you could use an IDE hard drive cable, purchase or get samples of male and female PC card connectors, and go to town.
