IBM Microdrive Question

Recently there was a thread in the "Hot Deals" forum for a 1GB IBM Microdrive for less than $200 from Iomega... Included with the microdrive was pc card adapter so that you could hook the microdrive up to your laptop and pull pictures off. That's nice, but I don't have a laptop. I have a desktop. What would I need to do/buy to pull picutres from the microdrive to my desktop? THanks
 
For 20 or 30$ you should be able to get a USB compactflash adapter and use that. Most of the USB CF adapters support type II CF.
 


<< Cool, thanks >>



Yep, just make sure to read the specs and verify that it can accept Microdrives. Some CF readers can, and some can't.

I know Newegg carries at least one CF card reader with specs that include the ability to accept Microdrives.

As for me, I like everything built in. I installed a PC card reader in my 3.5 drive slot. The only down side is the three huge ribbon cables running from the card reader, to the PCI card.
