One of the few things holding me back from upgrading my laptop is that most
of the newer laptops don't have removable hard drives.  One of the things I
like about my current laptop is the ability to pop out the hard drive and
put it in my pocket if I am going to be away from the laptop (the laptop is
replaceable, the data isn't).

A possible solution is the IO Mega Clik! drives which, in newer versions,
is just a PCMCIA card that acts as the drive (i.e., no external
cables/hardware).  This would allow me to use the Clik! drive as my home
directory and just pop out the disk as I pop out the drive in my current
laptop.

Hence two questions:

1. Does FreeBSD support the PCMCIA version of Clik!?
2. Has anyone used it enough to know if it is usable as a mounted partition
   (speed wise) or is it to slow for anything but a backup media?

Thanks.
