Hello,

Last night I found out that CompactFlash cards from digital cameras work
in my SPARCbook 3GX. You get an adapter for $9.50 (called PCMCIA type II
adapter), plug everything into the PCMCIA slot and mount the "hard
drive":

mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d1p0:1 /mnt

This is for the upper PCMCIA slot. Now you have access to all the great 
pictures from the camera. The PCMCIA driver his hot-plugable and you
don't need to reboot the notebook.

Hope this will help somebody.
