As title says , is there such thing as adapter for multicard reader to usb . What has happened is this . I was given preaty decent dual core laptop with broken USB ports . Everything else works , and it would be nice to get some way for USB conection . Model is Acer Aspire 5517 .I did google it , but no luck . Also any suggestion are welcome. Right now I can acces all my stuff via Samba on my desktop so it is not really important , but it would be nice to be able to have laptop to carry to places and be able to hook up camera and cell phone to it download photos mostly .

I've never heard of such an adapter.
Have you tried if it's possible to boot up from the card reader?
The only other option I see for removable starage is to replace the Optical Drive by a caddy with an extra HD.

That PCMCIA or ExpressCard slot is missing on this device, it's a very basic piece of kit and not worth spending a lot of money on.
Like this adapter that'll give you USB ports via the network:

A NAS would do similar and my Fritz!Box (and other) modem also has a USB port.

Actually , little plastic contacts are completely gone , just some pieces of wire are left . I have posted it on kijiji.ca and someone is coming to get it tonight . There comes time when you just move on .
I may get as much as 100 $ CDN and go do some grocery shopping instead , will get laptop another time .
