Using the Memory Card Reader
Digital cameras and other digital imaging devices use memory cards, or media, to store digital picture files. The optional memory card reader (select models only) can read and write to a variety of types of memory cards and the IBM Microdrive disk drive.
The card reader is accessible directly on the front of the PC or located inside a cover. It has two or four horizontal card slots, which accept the memory cards and the Microdrive disk drive.

You can place media in one or more of the card slots and use each media independently. Place only one piece of media in a slot at one time.
Each card slot has its own drive letter and icon. When you insert media, the display label may change to the title of the media, if the title is present.
