Lew, When you buy the micro drive you can get an adapter with it that allows it to fit in the PCMIA slot of a card reader like the microtek pc card reader. The card reader plugs in the parallel port John

Use a USB adapter such as Microtech or Apricorn attached to the USB port of your desktop. If you have a PCMCIA adapter, then use that as the others have indicated. I now carry the USB adapter/CD to install in other's machines when I need to xfer files to them.
