Hi Scott, I've found that as long as you get the proper format card reader for the type of card you have, any card reader should work. For example, get a flash card reader for a flash card, or smart media card reader for a smart media card ETC. You might want to check the specs on the web to see if there is a recommended card reader for your type of card. But, I believe that the card readers are fairly standard like disk drives or CD-rom drives. When I purchased my sandisk 512 MB flash card, I was just able to purchase a card reader that fit my flash card format. You should probably check to see if you have a type 1 or type 2 card, and then make sure that the type of reader you get can support type 1 or type 2.
One peace of advice though, if your home system has enough USB ports, or you use more than one computer through out your day, get a USB card reader. Its more portable. For instance, Sometimes I like to edit books while I'm at work. So, I can bring the card reader to work and I don't necessarily have to bring the PTR1 with me. The card reader is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, and as soon as you plug in the USB cable, it recognizes it as a "removable storage device". It may not be the best choice for you though, so consider your options. They are pretty inexpensive. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 4:47 AM To: PTR1 LIST Subject: Card reader Hello List I use the 5 gb Toshiba pcmcia type card with my PTR1. It works well, but I'm fed up of having to copy material from my PC to a disk and then onto the card, so I want to by a card reader for my PC. I think I have seen people talk about this on the list, so I would appreciate any suggestions as to which card readers definitely work with the Toshiba 5gb card. I would prefer an internal IDE reader, but I would be happy with a USB reader. Many thanks for your help. With Respects ...
