It's more my back than my knees
I still use PCMCIAs at my job. Had to order a reader. It has been... challenging (particularly getting permissions to connect it to the system, but even finding them is not super easy).
I learned this one in coolsig.com (which I was recently surprised to learn still exists and looks basically as I remember it!). At the time, I looked up the actual meaning, but the one in this thread is the one I still remember.
