I'm just curious as to what this little plastic "card" is for. Looks like is can use memory stick, sd and PCMCIA cards. I'll take a photo of it later and post it.
Bill ======== It's not a card, it's a plastic place holder. I guess to protect the port. When I first found mine on my laptop, I thought, hey, hey, I can stick CF or SD cards in there! Cool, this laptop is already setup for photos! But that is not what it is, it is a PCMCIA port. Others on list have already told you more than I could about it. But, yes, it is a tad disappointing. One can stick a card reader into that port, but it is not the cool built-in card reader I originally thought it was (and it appears you originally thought it was). Maybe it's cooler :-), but one has to spend a little more to make it a card reader. HTH, Marnie :-) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
