Hey guys
Was seriously pleased to find this forum. Had my phone for about 3 weeks now so I got quite a bit of modding to do to it to bring it up to speed but my first question is:
I bought a Trust 610 USB 6-in-1 card reader at a PC Fair as it stated that it reads memory sticks. Naturally I assumed that, along with the memory stick duo adaptor the card reader would recognise the contents of the Duo but when I connect the stick and try to connect I get the message "Please insert disk"
Is this something to do with the file system on the card? 'Cos I would really love to be able to transfer files onto the Duo using the reader.
I did do a search on this but have turned up nothing.

TIA

assuming you do not put stick and/or adapter upside down it should work fine, at least it does here with me.
Perhaps the cardreader needs drivers or you're clicking on the wrong drive letter (if there is a seperate letter for each type of card)

it's anyway a standard filesystem Windoze understands

Your reply got me thinking about 1 drive letter per type of card and it turns out that the card reader hijacks already assigned network drives so all i gotta do it move my network drives further along the alphabet. Thanks for that bro
