Hi John, This sounds like mine, though I know mine is a 9 in 1. Mine is an actual drive that is in the computer case though my husband also has one of those sticks that plugs into a USB port that accomplishes the same thing. I don't use my reader much for my BP, but it accepts the cards and it does work. It's a wonderful device. :) Shannon ----- Original Message ----- From: "John McCann" <lists@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2005 6:53 PM 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.
