The one I use was made by Lexar and cost about $25. The designation is: Card reader/writer Model GS-UFD-20SA-TP. It is about the size of a large deck of playing cards in a pretty blue translucent plastic, made to compliment the original Bondi Blue iMac. It has a permanently tethered USB cable coming out the back. The device reads and writes PCMCIA cards and can also read and write CF cards when using a CF to PC card sleeve. These cost about $15 at most computer stores although you can buy them cheaper over the internet. Many computers read and write PC cards directly, at least those made 3 or 4 years ago did. All the Mac Powerbooks, except the 12" screen models, have a PC slot. So did the HP and IBM laptops. If you can't find the Lexar adapter, try looking at the multifunction card readers currently available. Some may accept PC cards. Larry Z
