Is there anything like an adapter which converts USB port to PCMCIA ? I need to support a PCMCIA product and have only USB connection available.

Bit more explanation

Was thinking about data card (CDMA) by Reliance/ Tata Indicom which is meant for lappys with PCMCIA slot. I can use it when I travel, I mean lappy, but at home I am usin PC. Was thinking whether theres anyway to make it work

(I know PCMCIA to USB is possible, I mean making additional USB ports if PCMCIA slot is available, I am looking for the reverse thing ! )

Any ideas ?
