    I'm currently using a PCMCIA adapter for reading CF cards from my digital camera, and I'm using my printer to send mp3's on my SD card.

    I'd rather have these two on the same PCMCIA adapter.

    Is anyone aware of a such thing ? (Not the USB type!)

    not sure, but you can get a SD adaptor for the CF slot, and use both in the same CF PCMCIA that way

    After a bit of research, they seem to go for no less than 20$ .. That's a bit expensive !

    any decent PCMCIA adaptor is gonna be at least that much. the cheap ones are not cardbus, and are dog slow.

    You're right, a SD to CF adapter costs about 20$, but the adapter itself is 20$ as well :) a CF to SD adapter is more convenient since it stores itself inside the other adapter ! I might go with this one.

    Oops !

    My CF adapter supports only TYPE I, while the CF to SD adapter is a TYPE II !!

    I'm out of solutions :(
