That's about as far as my technical knowledge goes, copied from what it says on the device. I gather it's a miniature notebook without the frills of a proper computer. But it's a quite interesting "toy" for someone who isn't that bothered about most of what a computer can do. See:  http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=286831&source=1 I would like to display on the MID photos from my Fuji Finepix S6500 while on the move (i.e. without access to a full PC). The camera uses XD cards only and also has a mini USB connection of course. The MID is SD only and has a similar USB connection. If I link together the 2 USB leads that came with the device - giving me a mini connector at each end - I can connect the camera to the MID. However, when I select USB on the MID to display the images on the camera card, it doesn't recognise the camera and asks for driver details. I don't know how to find or intall those details. Strangely, when I connect my wife's Fuji S7000 camera in the same way, it works fine without having to make any adjustments. Am I missing something obvious here? I'm afraid I invariably struggle with anything of this nature. As an alternative to using the USB connection (if that problem cannot easily be overcome), is there a portable device that will transfer data on an XD card to an SD card? Advice will as ever be greatly appreciated. "Live your dreams, don't dream your life"    Report

Just Googled "multicard reader" and found something straightaway that would seem to fit the bill. And cheap! http://www.memorybits.co.uk/shop/card-readers/14-in-1-hc-(high-capacity)-card-reader-/8537 Regards Alan Ps Edit: Ignore that. That one doesn't seem to handle xd. I will search again! Pps. The next one on their list seems to cover it and even better value so have placed an order. "Live your dreams, don't dream your life"    Report
