Most definitely do.
I plan to attach a hard drive to the system, so I can store some data on it,
go away from my desk and still being able to do some useful work.
I do plan to investigate attaching in a PCMCIA modem, so that I could read my
email while on the road. Or may be a modem with a parallel interface will be
better/cheaper?
What is a book, that one should read on PCMCIA?
Of course, I plan to reuse every PCMCIA device with F21, once it becomes
available.

Does this apply to hard drive cards also?

It would be best, of course if he could sell the whole package.
