[X4U] PC Slot Memory Limitation?

[SE]

A friend has this same problem on a new iMac G5, 2.1 GHz. The only way 
he can retrieve images off the Memory Stick Pro Duo is by hooking the 
USB cable from the camera to the computer.  He dislikes doing that, but 
his Memory card reader just cannot see the memory stick.
