    Hi,

    Can the M1330 read a "Memory Stick Pro Duo" card?

    I saw that it was under the reader specification, but have absolutely no idea how to put the card inside the reader, since the reader is 2x bigger than the card.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks.

    not true.

    the m1330 reads sd/mmc AND ms/pro. In order to read a pro duo, you'll need a pro duo to pro adaptor.

    As lecture3waves said, you certainly can read ms media with the built-in reader, but you need the adapter that should have come with your duo to read it.

    You can shove it in there and it'll read. It'll also get stuck, though.

    What are you talking about?

    You need an adapter in order to read the MS Pro Duo on the m1330. It doesn't get stuck.

    Somebody should PM Olive so he doesn't order an external reader for nothing.

    So rather than sending him a PM yourself, you post a message that someone else should PM him.

    Makes sense to me!

    I didn't know what the etiquette is about PMing someone an answer, so I put it up for discussion in the forum. I could have PMed him, and if no one did, and it's OK to do that, I guess I will.

    It reads my regular memory sticks and 1 GB duo just fine. I use the adapter which is included with the duo. I've had no problems at all.
