I'm planning to buy a Alphasmart Dana textmachine. It has slots for
CF-II and for SDIO.

I need to be able to take data off, and put data into, public
computers to which a 3.5" floppy-drive is my only available access.
There is no other access.

I own a couple of peices of the Sony Floppy Adaptor for MemoryStick.
I am willing to purchase, if needed, the Olympus SmartMedia/MMS
floppy-adaptor. Tell you the truth, I don't exactly know for sure what
an MMS memorychip is.

what will allow me to make the Dana slots talk to the Sony
MemorySticks(or Olympus SmartMedia chips)?

Also. I've seen desktop-type "drives" which accept 6 different kinds
of memory chips. who makes those?

All I can say is those are USB. Anybody that makes USB accessories
usually makes something like those.

Check out the Mitsumi FA404A. It is a combination card reader / 3.5" floppy
drive, should run you about 25-30 bucks. I have one and it works as
advertised. Here's a link for where I got mine.

If the public PCs have paralell ports (or even USB), then you can have
a CF reader for either connection.
