Sandisk Announces New 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter for Laptop / Notebook Computer Users

May 24, 2004 ? SanDisk Corporation today introduced the world?s first 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter, giving notebook computer users the largest number of card formats for moving files to and from flash memory devices such as digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and mobile phones. The announcement was made at the Digital Experience media conference in New York.

The new adapter offers easy, plug-and-play compatibility with no software needed, and works with six different memory card formats: SD, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD-Picture Card, and SmartMedia. To read a card, users simply insert it into the adapter, and then slide the adapter into any computer with a PC Card slot. In this mode, the adapter works like a removable hard drive.

Protected by a rugged, stainless steel cover, the adapter replaces SanDisk?s 4-in-1 Adapter but will sell at a comparable suggested retail price of .99. Units are planned for shipment to stores by early summer.
