Hello John
If you look back at my messages and the title you'll see it's the PTR1 and
the 6 in1 isn't a reader/USB , it fits the slot fine as its made for the
PCMCIA slot. The adapter takes 6 different cards (but not CF), I got an SD
card. The PTRI just says unsupported card. This makes the PTR1 sound like
it lacks some software files.
