Translation to english - http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fitm%2F150817152753%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1423.l2649%23ht_718wt_1163&lp=de_en&btnTrUrl=Translate

Multi Card Reader would be the same as this one - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/All-1-USB-2-0-Multi-Platform-Card-Reader-MS-CF-XD-SDHC-SD-/170838274301?pt=AU_Digital_Memory_Card_Readers_Adaptors&hash=item27c6c130fd

A bit expensive, you can pick up the individual items from ebay.  The ADF transfer disk comes from Amigakit.com

I've got this PCMCIA adapter -

This 4GB CF Card works great for my Amiga 1200 -  FYI Amiga 1200 has a pcmcia slot, other amigas dont.  You can just use the pcmcia <-> CF card adapter and AmigaOS picks it up as a removable drive if formatted correctly.. In FAT16 at least.  Great solution for moving files between Amiga 1200 and PC..

thanks  for the translation  ...i was  curious to the usb  but if its  just for  storage  seems a waste  ..was hopin  the usb  with  drivers  could  use  other  devices  ..guess
have to wait  for a subway  card  to appear  on ebay aust  for  that ..
