I found the reader I used to use, a Sandisk Imagemate SDDR-09, newest drivers are windows 98, OS 9

Of course somewhere along the line I updated my mac laptop to os10. Of course I tossed the win98s and older a few months ago.

I suppose I'll have to take a chance reading the 5v card in a newer reader. Thank you.
Oh, so you've got a reader?

Linux not only doesn't trash drivers for no good reason, for USB it also will generally recognize the class and do a half-way respectable job of driving most USB devices with a generic driver if it doesn't have an entry for it.

Find any PC with a USB interface.
Down load a bootable Linux image; create a bootable media and use it.
Plug Sandisk reader in.
Copy files where ever you want (Cloud, Email, USB thumb drive, burn a CD etc).
