    Hey guys.. i purchased my 1681 without the card reader and was wondering if i can purchase the reader by itself and install it.. i have the mass storage controller and was wondering if the actual card reader was available for this model seperately..

    If your'e describing the 4 in 1 PC card reader, its really common from after-market sources. Semsons.com has them or a Google search for 4-in-1 PC card reader will show them for around $20.00. They don't need any driver software for XP.
