Can anyone recommend a MS Pro USB-Reader.
Have seen these Sandisks and Lexars

I have a Lexar USB 2.0 everything-in-one reader that works great with MS Pro. Its a small rectangular box, powder gray and blue. Only needs drivers for Win98; newer OSs recognize it automatically.

I also have an Atech Pro-9 USB 2.0 9-in-1 Embedded Card Reader. Like the Lexar, reads all current formats. It is a little larger than the Lexar but it works two ways: you can carry it around with you, or you can install it in a floppy drive bay to create a built-in card reader. Also only needs you to install drivers on older OSs.

Both work fine with the formats I use: MS Pro, MS, and SmartMedia. (I'd be surprised if they don't also work just as well with everything else, but I havenlt tested personally.)

Look into getting a Lexar Media JumpDrive Trio. It's a USB 2.0 (1.1 compatible) thumb drive that is easy to carry, needs no drivers (except 98), and accepts MS, MS Pro, and SD. They are under $20 at Wal-Mart.

Im getting a lexar with my new computer. There is basically only 2 companys that make them. Go with lexar, its $10 cheaper then the other company (which i forgot the name of).
