Is there anything like ndiswrapper that could enable use of a Linux driver in OSX? What about running VirtualBox and handing PCIex off to it?

I was thinking of desoldering the SD card slot from the motherboard, and squeezing in a USB one inside the case where it used to be.. I can't write device drivers, but I can solder..

I've thought about doing it this way as well. Do you know of any exceptionally small SD readers? I don't think Memory Stick is as important but then, that is just me.

Also need to find a small USB hub for all the goodies that'll be embedded.
