The memory card has a plurality of connection points for externally accessing the machine-readable storage medium. The reusable housing includes a housing member which removably receives and retains the memory card. The housing member has an exterior dimensioned to allow insertion thereof in the PC card slot. A PC card connector is positioned on the housing member to interface with the PC card interface when the housing member is inserted in the PC card slot. The reusable housing further includes an interface which receives the plurality of connection points when the memory card is received by the housing member and connects the plurality of connection points to the PC card connector to facilitate communication between the machine-readable storage medium and the PC card interface.
