Yeah, I have a couple of those little USB adapters for SD cards.They are 
super cheap and work great. I added one to the PC I use as my DW server 
which hosts a 128gb SD card (actual size is 124gb) for additional storage.

I also use one to plug in a 32gb SD card in to the TV for movies and such.

Oddly enough I never even thought about using one of those for the SD in my 
SDC   I've always unplugged it from the SDC and stuck it in the card reader 
in my laptop to add or remove .dsk images due to it already being in an 
adapter that came with the laptop.

I'm kind of having one of those Homer Simpson "Doh!" moments now realizing I 
could have been using one of the USB adapters and just done my file moving 
on the DW server itself.  Guess I should have bought three adapters instead 
of two.
