The card reader connects to your computer by the USB port so that you can edit and/or store the programs/patches or whatever it is that you're saving onto the card.

Don't know about the other stuff.

It has to be a smartmedia card as opposed to compact flash card, but there are a number of different brands, for example SanDisk is a brand that I have. For the Zoom MRS-4, it has to be a standard SmartMedia card designed for 3.3V with a capacity of 16-128 mb. See the manual for more details. You can do a google search to get lots more info.

In addition to purchasing online, places like Circuit City, Office Max, Staples, Walmart and Best Buy all sell smartmedia cards.

Hope that helps.

Also note, the 256mb smart media card is coming out *real* soon. Any "smart media" card that's 3.3v will work. To find the cheapest deal, just do an online search. I got a real deal on my cards through a computer weenie purchasing manager. I can't wait for the 256 meg card. That's 180 track minutes in high resolution on a Korg PXR4!-Richie
