I play electronic drums. The sound module I use has an older compact flash CARD slot. I downloaded some software for it on-line. For some reason the older card reader I have is not being recognized by my Toshiba LAPTOP. Not able to solve that problem I'd like to know if I can do this:

Send the document to a stick, which my laptop always recognizes, then put the usb stick into some kind of device with a compact flash set up on the other end and load the info into my sound module that way.

Doable? Is there such a coupling device? Not sure what to look for online.

Thank you for any info.My SUGGESTION would be to purchase an external USB connectible flash card reader which can then be attached to your USB port on the Toshiba laptop and should thereby be able to be accessed (the data on the flash card) and transfered to your laptop. While this is FAR from the complete listing of the available card readers for the task here is a link to a variety of them. You should examine them and see if one MEETS your needs as to the flash card you will be desiring it to read. truenorth
