Probably not cheap. Best option would be a card reader which costs around $10.

I think your talking about the CF adapter that goes into the PC slot? That is all I use especially since I think Sergio does all his editing on a laptop

I am the same way. All laptop thanks to card slot built into it. Not really sure as I am not a huge computer guy

I was thinking a USB card reader. Probably a little slower than the slot version but easier to set up, just plug and play. And still faster than camera-USB connection.

Thats good advice, but I spoke to Nick V a little while ago, my laptop does have a card slot on the side but my CF card wont fit..

You have to go buy the adapter, its cheap.
Re: piece to USB Broken on my Rebel XT
It looks like the only way to fix it would be to solder a new mini USB connector to the camera's circuit board which is just too risky.
Here are some CF card readers from Newegg.com: (which is one of the best electronic online retailers.)
Internal reader for laptops (excluding older laptops and newer macbooks)
Internal 3.5" card reader
USB 2.0 CF card reader

I never use the USB connector. I have always used a card reader. You can find a small card reader almost anywhere. There are computer shows most weekends that have them.

The card reader is MUCH faster that usb...I use both, usb when I am not in a rush and card reader when I need to go Go GO!!!

Hey Sergio,
Here's the card reader that I bought after my old one bit the dust:

A big name brand, and you can't go wrong for $11 shipped.
