TIL that 16-bit PCMCIA sound cards were a thing at some point: https://deadinsi.de/@yottatsa/113863715875853434 — I was aware of some models during the CardBus era (32-bit) but hadn't crossed my mind that of course there had to be earlier incarnations of the idea.

There's even an obscure one called Aura targeted at the #Amiga 1200: https://bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=1263

If it was easier to manufacture PCMCIA implements, it would be cool to see more Open Hardware in that form factor.
