The units that I referred to are USB 2.0 capable. And as long as you
have a USB 2.0 port on the computer they will plug in just like a
mini-drive does.

If I am understanding you correctly you are referring to USB items
which will still only have 1.1 capability, not 2.O. The cardbus will
give you USB 2.O capability provided you have the PCMCIA slot. Most
are offered in either two or four port configurations. Once you get it
installed then you can always expand to a hub (always use powered) for
more versatility.

Hello all,
Regarding Toms' alternative choice.
You can purchase a USB plugin device that accepts flash media cards
if your computer does not have one.
I saw them in a catalog for CYBERGUYS, and their website is
cyberguys.com
They also have portable 8 in 1 USB 2.0 mulit port Media Reader/Writers

Another alternative is a PCMCIA card but this is not possible unless

Guido,
How old is your laptop? If it was originally USB1 then you would need
to replace the board to make it USB2 compliant. Updating the drivers
doesn't do it. USB1 cannot read USB2.

Barbara,
I am interested in your solution because I have put my old 1GB
(doorpost) in
an external USB.2 box. I can use it on the Home-PC, but am unabel
to get the
data if I connect it to my laptop. I use XP prof on the home-pc and
the XP
home both upgraded to sp2 (the laptop is a ACER travelmate and the
home-xp
was included, but it is an Acer-version.) The box contained the
mini-software-CD I used to install the Usb driver under XP, XP
still is an
abreviation of eXtra Problems. Guido
