I worked on a card to do this while I was in S. Calif.  The board was the
TransFormer/2 (sp?) from ADC in Huntington Bch.  I don't know if they are
still around or not (still waiting for that "call back in 2 weeks" from Jan
'89), but if they are, they may have even improved on it by now (or
discontinued it -- there are just some PC cards that have NO CONCEPT of how
to handle interrupts "correctly", they just toggle the IRQ low long enough
to get the attention of the PIC).
