You probably did not read all the existing posts about PCMCIA adapters? Anyway Sandisk would be a safe choise for PCMCIA to CF or the 6 in 1 version, just make sure you get the SD HC capable one. Other ones may well be good too but Sandisk is certainly good.

Both mine are no name brands I had laying around my home office. They work fine but I prefer the CF as I have about 30 or so CF cards and only 10 SD.

I went with some generic compact flash reader, along with a 32 gig compact flash card off ebay. I haven't had any issues.

I have one "no-name" adapter myself and it works fine. But I've seen a few posts about some unknown brand adapters that create very odd problems. Since the well known adapters are not expensive, I consider it better to buy one of these instead of suggesting "anything works" (I know this was not the exact intention from others but the posts could have been interpreted like that).

Really, you haven't had any issues with a 32gb card? Did you check if all your music was there because when I used a 32gb card, and a 16gb card all I could load was 10 gb of music.

Well one isn't really a No-Name (since I just checked) it is an Epson but who knows who actually made it. I have no idea where it came from.
