Drive for Memory Card Fans

(The Honolulu Advertiser ) -- Oct. 9, 2001 -- If you're one of those gadget-overloaded consumers who can never remember which memory card or USB connection fits inside which device, Addonics' Pocket DigiDrive could help ease the confusion. The $89 drive contains slots that can read and write to seven popular digital media formats: Compact Flash Type 1, Compact Flash Type 2, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, IBM MicroDrive, Multimedia Card and Secure Digital Card. When you install the drive, an icon for each type of media will show up under the "My Computer" folder. The device weighs 11 ounces and measures 4 inches by 5.5 inches by 1 inch, making it portable enough to tote along on trips.

The drive ships with a USB cable and software and is compatible with computers running Windows 98 or higher, Mac OS 8.6 or higher and Linux kernel 2.4 or higher.
