Ran across a gadget that might be of interest to some on the list. Tiny URL to the Google cache page because the site loads so slowly. <http://tinyurl.com/6x75lt>. It's available on several shopping sites, but this is apparently the outfit from whence they originate. There's a larger photo of the app at <http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/05/usb-dock-accept.html>.
SATA HDD Multi-Function Dock (USB + ESATA) USB + ESATA + 2-PORT HUB + CARD READER This SATA HDD Dock allows you to plug any 2.5" or 3.5" SATA Harddisk to your computer via USB or ESATA port, a powerful tool for data transfer, backup and cloning. It functions as a 2-port USB hub and card reader as well. The device is compatible with both PCs and Macs. # Features: Supports both S-ATA 2.5" HDD and 3.5" HDD # PC connection: USB 2.0 / ESATA # 2-port USB hub # 4-Slot Card Reader # Support Windows VISTA, XP and Mac OS # Dimension: 130 x 120 x 68mm (approx.) # Weight: 475g Support Card Types: # SD / SDHC / *Mini SD / *Mini SDHC / *T-Flash Card / *Micro SD # MMC / MMC-II / RS MMC / MMC Plus / MMC Plus Turbo / MMC Mobile/Mobile-ProC # Compact Flash / XD # Memory Stick / Memory Stick MagicGate / Memory Stick Pro / Memory Stick Duo / *Memory Stick Pro Duo / *Memory Stick MagicGate Puo / *Memory Stick MagicGate Duo / *Memory Stick micro (M2) (* means Adapter is required) $79 including shipping. It's not what I was looking for, but interesting nonetheless. I'm assuming it might integrate with Linux as well for at least some of the supported card types.
