Yes, I've used both a SmartCard and Compact Flash reader on a 5300 and a Original G3 (upgraded version of the 3400). They work fine. The one thing I found was with the SmartCard reader was to insert the SmartCard into the PC Card and then insert the PC Card into the computer. If I inserted the PC Card into the computer first it didn't work and in fact made the computer freak out. Also make sure you put the SmartCard in the right way. It will fit if put in either way but only works in one orientation. I did have problems trying to insert the PC Card adapter in when I already had wireless card inserted in the upper slot. This isn't a big problem for me as the main reason for reading the card on my laptop is when I'm on the road where I'm not using the wireless (at least not so far). > >I have a Fujifilm floppy card adapter, but it even >says in the documentation not to use it on a >PowerBook.

(The Fujifilm gizmo works fine on my >6500 ppc) The PC Card reader should work much faster than the floppy adapter. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
