    I'm using an old CD case, more or less the same size and with a flip up lid in the same place it does the job.

    I picked up one in Sheffield today, no card reader so it was reduced by £30, add on the £5 voucher and that's just £65, bargain! :) And my digital camera takes CF cards as well so the lack of a card reader isn't a problem.

    It was the last one in the Sheffield store apart from the display model, so suggest any Sheffielders looking for one get down there quick and negotiate a discount for it being an ex-display model!

    Well I've had a look at mine and there is no cf slot, so you cannot use cf cards without the adaptor, there is a slot but there is no connectors inside.

    The adapter is a CF (compact flash) to various other type card adapter, so where would you put it if there is no CF slot ? :rolleyes:

    Thats what I see when I look in the adaptor slot of my xt, its like a cut down pmcia slot on a laptop.

    as far as I can see the adaptor is not a cf card type, its a pmcia type plug which allows all card types to go in it at the other end.

    These cards fit directly into the slot:

    having never used a compact flash, I did'nt know they were so thick and were almost the size of a pmcia.
