Yup as far as we know there is no way of getting USB working on the 50/70CT ... what sort of memory card does your camera use? 99.9% of digital cameras use SmartMedia, SecureDigital/MMC, CompactFlash or Memory Stick, for all of these you can get PCMCIA readers for them (which don't require cardbus). Indeed, in most cases, the readers pick up using the standard drivers available under Win95 and above!Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 18:13:48 -0700 From: Aaron Choate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: New to list - USB question.. Hi all! I've just become the proud owner of a Libretto 50 CT that I intend to use for a custom piece of DOS software that communicates with and records the activity of my car's computer - but I'd also like to use it as a dumping point for my digital camera when I'm on the road, but in order to do this, I need to find a USB option for it. I'm pretty sure most of the USB cards they sell won't work (requires Cardbus PCMCIA socket) -- is there another option?
For cards with controllers (mostly CompactFlash), these readers are very cheap ($10USD perhaps), for controller-less cards (SmartMedia, *possibly* MS and SD/MMC but I'm not sure) the readers are a bit more expensive. Note that especially with a controller-less card, do NOT remove the card before you 'stop' and make sure you don't suddenly shut down or hibernate without ejecting the card during a write, otherwise you run a very real risk of damaging the card (take it from someone who has!).
Hope this helps!
