About the 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 (select models only)
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 or located inside a
cover. It has four horizontal card slots, which accept the memory cards and the
Microdrive disk drive.

You can place media in one or more of the card slots and use each media
independently. Place only one piece of media in a slot at one time.
Each card slot has its own drive letter and icon. When you insert media, the
display label may change to the title of the media, if the title is present.

window with the USB Mass Storage Device selected. Doing so
