Hi Malcolm,

I'm using a Dazzle 4 in 1 Adapter for the same purpose you've outlined
above. Works great! Just one caveat, which one of the listmemebers brought
up (so VERY sorry - don't have his name in my head just now) - to eject
the card's image from the desktop before actually taking it out.

Best,

Henry
