At least some of the Casetronic CF readers come with a PCI carrier: http://www.casetronic.com/products/Products_Accessory.asp I don't remember if I used the models for the C146/C147 or C137 cases though. They worked fine with 5.x. Be sure to set the "disk" to CHS mode in the bios. Best regards, -- Francois Tigeot
