How can I add an external SD card to a Rabbit ?

See the following information.  This gives an example of adding an external SD card to an RCM4400W: 

Custom Configurations

The configuration library fat_config.lib is brought in when fat.lib is #use’d in the code. This configuration
library recognizes the macro _DRIVER_CUSTOM as a flag that a custom hardware configuration
or custom device driver is being used in the hardware/device driver arrangement set up by
fat_config.lib.

B.1 Adding SD Card Interface
As an example of a custom hardware configuration, consider the task of designing an SD card interface on
a board that uses a core module that does not natively support such an interface. This is just one example
of connecting an SD card socket to an RCM4400W core module. A device driver already exists for the SD
card interface with FAT module version 2.13 and Dynamic C version 10.21. The desired driver, which in
this case is SD_FAT.LIB, must be identified before fat.lib is #use’d in the application. One strategy
is to create a new configuration library that will be #use’d at the top of your application program. The bulk
of this library can be taken from existing configuration setups and modified for the custom application. In
this case, we get this setup section from the RCM43xx.lib file, which sets up the SD card for the
RCM43xx series of core modules. There is a fairly long parameter block which consists of defines setting
which port, pins and shadow registers are used to access the control and serial lines needed to control the
SD card.

Once this type of configuration library is created, you can use any FAT-based sample with the custom
hardware by simply replacing the #use "FAT.lib" statement in the sample with #use "customSD.lib", where
customSD.lib is the name of the new configuration library.

B.1.1 Example Code
The configuration library would have to include something similar to the following code:
// Tells fat_config.lib that a custom driver/configuration is to be used
#define _DRIVER_CUSTOM "SD_FAT.LIB"

// Configuration definitions modified to include custom initialization function
// Signature strings have been set to NULL because the SD card is removable media
#define PC_COMPATIBLE
#define _DRIVER_CUSTOM_INIT { "SD", sd_custom_init, NULL, },
#define _DEVICE_CUSTOM_0 { sd_custom_init, NULL, 0, 0, \
FDDF_MOUNT_PART_ALL|FDDF_MOUNT_DEV_0, NULL, },

// SD hardware parameter block copied from RCM43xx.lib
//*** SD hardware definitions

// Sets up the following port connections for the SD driver
// This would use external buffer and power line control similar to the SD card circuitry on the RCM4300
// Directly connecting these pins to the SD card would have possible line drive issues
// Port C, Pin 2 TxC Serial Transmit line
// Port D, Pin 0 Card Select line, active low
// Port D, Pin 1 SD Card Active LED, active high
// Port D, Pin 2 SclkC Serial Clock line
// Port D, Pin 3 TxC Serial Receive line
// Port E, Pin 3 Card Detect line, active low

// This example does not use write protect or power control

// If not using power control, it is recommended that the detect switch on the SD card socket
// be tied to appropriate circuitry for applying power to the SD card.
