Hello Dennis,

HD>> When sailing and traveling with my foldable bike,
HD>> I do not have enough room to transport a large amount of computer
hardware.
HD>> So next time I have to take 2 cardreaders with me, and leave that clean
HD>> underware out of my case ;-).

DLB> I have a uSD card reader that is about the size of a large Chiclet gum.
DLB> Or, to put it in terms of something readily available,
DLB> the size of the standard USB /connector/ shell with a small bit of
DLB> plastic on the exposed end --> with a slot for the uSD card.

I know, and have the same myself.
The last one I bought was Euro 1.95. I was a little suprised at that price.
But did you see my smiley at the end of my previous phrase?
The keyboard and monitor are the two biggest items to take with you,
so I left that away.

DLB> If you've got room for a pair of dice, you've got room for 4-6 of these
DLB> readers. https://www.adafruit.com/product/939

I only need two at a time.
But with 4 you can make two backups at the same time.
You know I have 5 Pi's, so running more than one (at home) is simply possible.
Although I do not have 5 power supplies.
The problem is when I am sailing with my bike.
Normally I am going to computerclubs by car, and then there is enough room
for carrying many Pi's and other stuff needed, i.e. monitor, cabling etc..
Going to ships by train and bike is limiting the transportation capacity.
About 12 days I am going to Germany by train and bike for sailing at the
rivers Rhine and Neckar for one week. But I donot need a computer there.
At the old ships reunion in Leiden.nl last weekend I needed it much more.

Henri.
