Memory card reader/writer, by several cups of coffee.
Or try the new USB cable (as opposed to the serial one that comes in the box)

Yeah, a Memory card reader/writer is the best solution, it also allows you to optimize the format (cluster size) of your Memory stick 😉

If you have a Laptop with a PCMCIA (PC-Card) Slot you can use a PC-Card Adapter! Is the abolut fastest way to transfer Data to you MS Duo!!!

You've got to be careful with these multi memory card reader/writer units. I bought one but it doesn't write well - error files and duplicated files. And guess what? I later discovered that I could have done it with my Sony digital camera hooked on to my Apple powerbook which recorded perfectly and relatively fast.

Ghazalie is right, i know people who was using a multi-card reader, and it wiped all the data on the MS! 😮

Personally I'm using the PC Card adpater (MSAC PC-2)that I got with my Sony digicam. The transfer speed is much quicker than the USB/serial cable.
