ebuyer.com do PC Card to CF adapters for about £3-4 inc. VAT.

It's a bit bulky though.  I ate at a restaurant this weekend which used
Ipaqs with PC Card wireless for ordering.  Just so happened that we had a
laptop and silver card with us.  They were using no encryption, so we did a
bit of hacking and revealed their entire network topology.  I'm sure given
a
few hours we could sit in the pub next door, order a few meals, and wander
downstairs when it was ready!
