I'm pretty confident I could plug in pretty much any usb CF reader and
have it work in moments (my camera acts just like a cf reader, and it
works) but I'm specifically looking for something that will not take
up additional space, and a flush pcmcia solution would be perfect.

It looks as though I'll just end up buying one that looks reasonable
from newegg and report back.

Thanks for the suggestions,
Rogan
