Yup. Beige is definitely best. I got a Mitsumi combo which is a floppy disk drive with combined card reader capability: It has slots for CF, SD, XD, etc cards above the slot for floppy disks. The floppy connection is via standard floppy disk cable, the card readers connect via internal USB2 connection (but appear as *two* distinct "removable disk" drives to the computer). I needed to replace my floppy drive anyway and this solution gives me fast card reading capability with no extra cables hanging around. And it's beige. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
