only that Win98, WinME and possibly Win2K will need drivers to use it -
WinXP will probably automatically install the necessary drivers. You may
want to make a floppy or cd with the drivers for those OS's to carry
around with you just in case.

BTW - my camera (Pentax Optio S) and my phone (Kyocera 7135) use the SD
card. Fry's apparently has the SD 256 cards on sale for $49 not
including a $20 rebate
