Search for "MSAC-US20" in sonystyle. I am happily using this one for my MS Pro 512M.

Just ordered the SanDIsk model from B&H Photo/Video. Definitely looks like the much better deal!

The Sony model only looks likes a USB1.1 model instead of USB2 speeds.

No, it's a USB 2.0 model. I bought it from a Sony Shop in HK. The box has clear label that says it's a USB 2.0 product. Though it doesn't say it supports MS Pro. But it does support MS Pro, as what the salesman told me, and I can confirm this now after using it.

Amazing, on their website, you'd think they would say USB2, especially since I'm sure they had to pay a licensing fee for the tech.

This is from a previous post of mine in the NZ forum:

Sandisk makes the SDDR-97 which is a single card reader that supports MSPro. I just picked one up today at CompUSA for $20. I had read in a another post that sandisk might release an MSPro firmware update for the 6 in 1 reader so I e-mailed them as this is what I wanted. This is the reply I got:

"Thank you for contacting SanDisk Technical Support.

Unfortunately, the SDDR-86 does no read the MS Pro card. We have developd the SDDR-97 to read the MS Pro. For more info, please visit:

http://www.sandisk.com/consumer/sng_usb2.asp"

I then asked them if they would ever make a 6 in 1 that worked with MSPro. The reply I got was:

"Thank you for contacting SanDisk Technical Support.

Unfortunately, there are no plans at this time to develop a multi-card reader that will read the MS Pro card.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact our technical support department at 866-726-3475. Have a Great Day!

well there goes that!

Just received the SanDisk MS/MSPro reader and it works flawlessly on my WInXP machine, very fast on the USB2 interface! ;)

Have a 256 MS Pro, thnking of also getting the 512 this summer once prices come down a bit.

BTW- If you have a sony vaio laptop, you can find a sony driver firmware update on their support site. I couldn't read my new MS pro stick until I installed the firmware update. You need a blank ms stick (not pro) to do the update btw.
