    Have you a PC or Laptop?

    If the latter Sandisk do a PCMCIA Compact Flash Adapter for under a tenner.

    For a desktop you can get a 3.5" bay for about €25

    Komplett or Elara

    I use the sandisk pcmcia reader.

    Like any other similar device it does protrude but it doesn;t bother me. I've even left it in while lappy is in case being carted about through airports and football grounds.

    I got one of these, and am slightly disappointed with it. It won't read the SD card anymore, unless you keep pressure on the card. Luckily I have two separate SDHC readers, but still, you should expect the quality to better from a branded Sandisk reader.
