Is your parallel port free? If so have you looked at a Plipbox?

It will be faster than a serial option but slower than pcmcia.

I've found a right angle adapter: https://amigastore.eu/en/589-pcmcia-90%C2%BA-adapter-.html

I hope this might help, certainly cheaper than a mediator 😁

As for speed of parallel Vs serial, I always thought parallel was faster no matter how the serial was connected, but there are so many variables which affect it.
