Nah - CAMs require the whole transport stream routed through them in hardware
from the demodulator. They have a customised version of the PCMCIA interface
for dealing with this.
You could probably plug one in and have it recognised as a PCMCIA card (just
as you can actually plug a PCMCIA card into a CAM slot) but neither of them
will work beyond that.
