Memory Card Reader
Digital cameras and other digital imaging devices
use memory cards, or media to store digital picture
files. The optional memory card reader can read
and can write to a variety of types of memory cards
and the IBM Microdrive disk drive.
The card reader is accessible directly on the front of
the PC. It has four horizontal card slots, which
accept the memory cards and the Microdrive disk
drive.
A SmartMedia/xD
B In-use light (indicates data is being
read or written)
C MMC/SD (MultiMedia Card/Secure
Digital)
D CompactFlash I/II or Microdrive
E MS/MS-Pro (Memory Stick or Memory
Stick Pro)

Do not try to remove
media when the in-
use light is blinking.
Doing so may cause
loss of data.
