you can get a new Memory Stick USB reader.

MSAC-US1 about $60.
(for Win 98, 98 SE and Mac OS on the packaging)

or you can get a Antec PhotoChute 3 USB, cost you more because you need to get a PC card adapter with it. Before you take any pictures, make sure you reformat the memory stick. Otherwise, you might run into trouble reading it.

There is also an adapter that you casn put the memory stick in, and then have your floppy drive read it...

Nerdtech, can you say idiot? Last I checked there wasn't a floppy on any of the G4's. (or any new mac for that matter.)

Sony MSAC-US1

I just receive the new USB adapter today via the mail, I havent get around to install and try it. But all you need to install are two USB drivers:

Sony Peripheral USB Driver
Sony Peripheral USB Shim

it also mention "connect the USB cable after your macintosh starts".

Check this out:

http://www.microtechint.com/cardreaders.html

Microtech has several readers to choose from. I have the CompactFlash & SmartMedia reader and it works like a charm.

More specifically (since Microtech only has one Memory Stick reader):

Microtech makes great products... they're not cheap, mind you.
