I just located the user's manual for the ID Mate online and it states that
it uses a CompactFlash card that is specifically formatted for the ID Mate,
so the answer is that it uses the same kind of card (Type I CompactFlash) as
the Book Port. However, you apparently can't format new cards for the ID
Mate in a card reader that's attached to your computer. Most card readers
attach by way of a USB cable to one of the USB ports on your computer,
although there are a few somewhat more expensive versions that will actually
install into the front panel of a computer just like a floppy or CD drive.

Subject: [bookport] Re: Labeling and Storing Flash Cards for the Bookport
While talking about flash cards for the BookPort, let me ask this.
Currently I dont have anything that uses flash cards but am waiting for not
only the BookPort but an ID Mate. Does anyone know what kind of card the ID
Mate uses as well as the BookPort? I will need extra cards for both and
want to be sure I order the right ones.
Also, I want to install a card reader into my PC. Preferably interanl.
Any recommendations? Thanks. And I bookmarked the site that was shared
here, looks nice.
