The SDDR-99-A15 may be perfectly compatible, but several weeks ago
I tried a SanDisk card adapter (not a card reader) that worked with
most xD cards but not the newer high speed type H xD cards. You may
want to first check Sandisk's website, or with their tech. support
about their card reader's xD compatibility. I haven't seen any of
the 2GB xD cards, but they've been announced. Tech. support may not
be able to comfirm compatibility with the 2GB pieces, but it
wouldn't hurt to ask about that too.

I've had problems losing data when inserting a Type H card into a card
reader. I would try this first with you photos backed up from you picture
card, via the camera.

There are 3 types of xd cards out there. The plain ones that I believe max out at
512Mb, and ones that compress data. Of the compression cards Type H is newer and
faster than Type M.
