3. USB MMC memory card reader

1 . ive been lookin on the net for the usb bluetooth adapter. looking on maplins they can offer me one for £14.99, Can anyone here suggest a better place which is cheaper?
this is the device i need in the immediate future

2. The MMC memory card i looked on ebay looks like the best place and cheapeest but the problem is most of the cheap ones come from the far east!

for my number 3 the memory card reader look at the following page at the very bottom
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acata...rd_Readers.html

this will fit in the space of a 3.5 inch floppy drive, pretty handy should u have the space!
ne1 know what ill need to connect it on the inside?

A normal floppy drive cable - connect to motherboard floppy port - and a spare USB port on the motherboard for the media reader.

a floppy drive cable? but my motherboard already has a floppy drive cable connected to a floppy drive..

would this mean that i wont be able to have a floppy drive flops?? :P

what abt the 5.25 inches ones will that still need a floppy cable?
cheers

im now looking on ebuyer to look for a bargain!

No it wont use a 3 12" floppy cable because it dosen't have a built in floppy drive.

It will sit below the floppy drive and all it will need is a USB header

thanks

i hope this is the case!

looking on ebuyer i can get a internal ebuyer 7in1 reader for £5.66

Check the link below for the Mitsumi floppy drive + combined memory card reader.

I use one of the silver ones. It would replace your current floppy drive, so you can use your existing floppy cable, and to connect the media card readers, you need a spare USB header on your motherboard - the header plug that plugs into the motherboard is a single plug (not separate plugs for each wire/pin which can often prove complicated) so connection is really easy.

Supported media for the card reader slots as follows:
CF (Compact Flash),
Microdrive,
SM (Smart Media??),
MS (Memory Stick),
SD (Secure Digital),
MMC (do enlighten me what this stands for!).

Very easy to install and use, and doesnt take up unnecssarry drive bay as it is contained within the floppy drive unit.

Hmm, I have the floppy drive and card reader thing on my system, and Yup I only got one floppy drive cable. Its definatley not hooked up with a seperate cable at least, and I'm not infront of it at the moment, but I can give you very deatailed info in a few days.

yer i need to buy a new one

the old ones blown i lost 11 quid

need an internal one tho
