any suggestions for such a device? i am about to buy a new digicam and
the one i was looking at works with SD cards. my old cam used cf, those
cards i was able to read with an el-cheapo pcmcia cf card reader.

any chance there is a similar, supported device for SD cards? if not,
what other (cheap) devices, eg USB readers, would work?

thanks, t.
