I've had USB card readers and 3.5" floppy drives (mostly card readers for the rapidly disappearing A: drives), and I've found that both types can be picky. The former require a software install and reboot, while the latter require hard drive A: and fresh watch batteries to function. The PCMCIA card, on the other hand, is really no problem. It requires no software or batteries. Insert your camera's memory card into the slot on the edge of the PCMCIA card, then insert the whole thing into your laptop, it will be automatically recognized as a new drive and from there to your C: drive or data CD into your D: -Drive copied (to create a permanent photo album) is just a few clicks away.
