The card I'm using is one I'm working on (SDIO-like card interoperating with optional SD memory card) and I can't disclose what it really is nor when it will be available. Spectec SDG-810 (GPS with micro-SD slot) looks like a similar SD-combo card. Answering Adrian's question: SDIO uses separate command set (CMD5 for init, CMD52 and CMD53 for IO transactions) than SD memory and so the parts can coexist in one card (provided some additional constraints are met). The SDIO specification covers the details.
