Certainly, if you can find the correct kind of socket, that would be great.
The problem is not pin-spacing however; 0.05" has been a pretty standard
pin-spacing since before PCI slots became popular. The problem is finding
a connector with the correct number of pins (and edge spacing), and the
correct slot thickness for a HuCard (I seem to recall that it is 3/32" or
something like that).
Some people have suggested "fashioning" a connector of the correct
thickness out of connectors of different thicknesses, or other handcraft or
makeshift strategies for a connector of the correct thickness. The issue
with this is that tolerances are pretty tight on these connectors and
HuCards themselves; it is difficult to hand-fashion something within 1/100
of an inch - and don't forget that the pins of the connector need to
contact the HuCard with the appropriate pressure.
Don't take this as nay-saying though; I think it is a good idea to further
explore the types of connectors that you have found, for the possibility of
matching against the requirements of a HuCard adapter.
