Thanks for the answers I got to the very basic questions I asked the other day about what PCMCIA slots are.

What _is_ PCI, by the way? (I was reading something the other day -- don't remember if it was a software read-me or some trouble-shooting guide -- that mentioned PCI macs, and I wasn't sure if mine _was_ a PCI mac or not. How does one tell?) >>Does >>that mean I would _have_ a PC card in there, or only that I could use >>one if I had it?

I'd be very interested in knowing about the card that's a CompactFlash reader . Does anyone know where I might find one to buy (the 16-bit kind), and about how much they cost? Are they hard to find? What is the actual name of the card (so I can try to do a search for it.)? And do I understand correctly that no installation would be necessary (no taking apart the machine)? I'd just find out where the slot is located, slip in the card, and then I'd be already to put my Flashcards into it? And one more question, just to be sure. . . Do any and all flashcards work with this reader? Or are their different types of flashcards? (Mine is for a canon camera, and I transfer pictures from it to my imac through the USB port using a little whale-shaped card reader).
