USB 2.0 jack, turn on the Pentium IV, 2 GHz PC using Windows 2000
then the ImageMate was found.

The media cards after pulled out from
the SanDisk reader can be used
in the camera or can be used to copy images into the HD of Super-
Digibin without any problems.
Comment : The image files transfer speed, using SanDisk CF card
and
Sony MS, should be faster than indicated from my tests. The computer
is brand new with USB 2.0 card provided from the supplier.
