Title: CF adaptor for Sony memory stick
Post by: albertyong88 on August 18, 2004, 05:28:05 am

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has come across a CF adaptor that will take Sony memory stick that works on the Zaurus SL-Cxx ?

I just thought  I am now able to use the Zaurus as a media card reader, and I have quite a few sony MS.

Thanks.

Albert

I have ordered this one, but not yet received it. I have a new sl5600, and hope it will let me look at sd cards without using the sd slot. I will let you know if it works with sl5600 and sd card.

Finally got the above-mentioned cf to sd/sm/ms/mmc adapter. I tried it with an sd card, and it showed up as a cf card in the taskbar. I could read it just fine, so I asume that if you put a memory stick in, it would show up as a cf device. BUT, I don't have a memory stick to try that out. Also, my Z is an SL5600. But for me this is great, because I use my sd slot for permanent storage of programs, so I don't want to eject it to look at pictures from the sd card in my camera. For $17.00 it isn't too bad of a risk trying it.
