I just got off my lazy butt and actually compared the two drives side by
side. They are both the same width, but the kittyhawk is considerable
shorter in length and taller.

SQ1100 media: 1.8" x 2.0" x 3/16"
Kittyhawk: 1.8" x 1 5/8" x 3/8"
PCMCIA-II drives would need to be 3/16" tall or under, I'd guess.

(measurements done with a crude tape measure.)
