Hello!

I have a computer with an SD card reader and a CF card reader built in. Now in typical sods law fashion, my digital camera uses XD cards.

So, my question is, does such a thing exist as an XD to SD adaptor?

My mobile phone uses MiniSD and I've an adaptor for that to make it fit in the SD slot so I'm after something along the same lines??

Caveat
I have no experience of this.

Hi Rich,

I dont think they do a adaptor:shrug:

Might be best to get a new card reader

Sorry gents, I need an adaptor rather than a card reader, I need to travel as light as possible :) (sorry should have said its for a laptop)

Well, if anyone comes across either XD to SD or XD to CF adaptors, I'd be VERY grateful if you'd let me know!

I've got this one and it works fine. Very light and about the size of a pack of cards.

Rich.
Double check that the SD slot is not a twin slot, have just checked my Acer Laptop and it caters for CF/SD & XD but the two smaller ones are on top of each other!
