I was about to say that a non-USB Memory Stick reader would most likely be some sort of Sony proprietariness, but I have a multi-format (except for CompactFlash, but a CF-to-PC Card adapter takes care of that) card reader in my HP notebook that's supposed to support Memory Stick. In my case, the card reader is part of the CardBus controller. The driver website is here: http://tifmxx.berlios.de/ At this point, SD and MMC support works. Memory Stick, xD, and SmartMedia support aren't as far along. If your notebook uses a TI CardBus controller, you might want to look into this. _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
