MobilePro Master, the adapter in the first link won't work because it's CardBus and not 16-bit PCMCIA.
Any adapter like the one in the second link should work without any drivers, since as MPM says, the H/PC will recognize the PCMCIA adapter with the SD card in it as an ATA storage card.
(I have a PCMCIA 5-in-1 adapter that works this way.
