Hello, Thanks for that post, I figured 4 slots meant it would only read 4 specific types of card. When buying mine, spending the extra $10 seemed like the right thing to do, and it has saved me on more than one occasion already. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John McCann Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2005 9:54 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Bookport as compact flash card reader Hi Shannan: Actually, the card reader Otto was referring to is probably a "twelve in one" reader. I'm quite confident that the one he's referring to is the one I have; in fact, I have two of them, one for home and one for the office. This reader has four slots, and the computer does recognize it as four separate drives, but each slot can, in turn, accept a variety of card formats, provided, of course, that the physical dimensions of the card itself are consistent with a given slot. For example, slot "A" may accept compact flash type 1 and type 2; slot "B" may accept MMC, XD, etc. (That's just an example, I do not know whether the physical dimensions of the cards I used in the above example are equivalent.) Later!
