Yes, they used to exist, but they no longer do, at least not commonly.
Toshiba and IBM both used them in 386/486 days. But the problem is that
a PC Card (the correct term, you should stop using "PCMCIA") is either
an ISA card, or if it's a "Cardbus" card, it's a PCI card. And both are
too slow for main memory in a modern computer.

Is there such a thing as a PCMCIA RAM card? I know once upon a time, back
in Apple II days, you could put RAM on a card and get more that way.
Granted, the PCMCIA thing would be half system bus speed, but it would
likely be much faster than the damn swap file on the HDD, no?
