Great discussion!
Can't the external cf bay be assigned the home catalog (I don't know myself)? As for the size issue, maybe there is room inside for a standard card, who knows... We'll just have to wait for pictures... Another idea I had though, would be to use something like this:

If you must, for some reason use an ordinary card, maybe the plastic can be trimmed to fit the space, and/or the card could be tilted a bit.
btw, I found one standard card for external antenna if someone is interested.. Maybe someone wants to add one to improve the range. Don't know about drivers and all that, but here it is anyway:
