Digital camera & digital photography resources
for professional & amateur photographers

I found this old camera in my dads storage shed. It says Minolta RD-175 Digital 3ccd. It has a lithium 6v (I think) battery in it and then a seperate spot for 4 AA batteries. It takes great shots. The thing was sealed in a plastic box and looked like it had been used for a couple of years and thrown into storage. It works wonderfully and is like brand new. It even has a macro lens that allows me to get within mm of the shot. Great camera.

My only problem is the memory card is old...it has a copyright 1998 Lexar media on the back. It says 128MB PC card on it. It looks like one of those old internet cards used in ancient laptops. I think it is a PCMCIA card? Is there a card reader out there today that can read this old thing?

I counted the number of holes in the card and there are 68. Hopefully I can get some help. The lexar website directs all calls and online chats to India...they are no help at all for this particular issue.

Thanks!

New user here...found your post on Google. i have a CD-10 card reader for my (new to me) RD-175. Still getting it set up, but I may be able to help you out. I'll send a PM.
