Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for its purpose and value
Review: This this device is limited compared to some readers but is perfect for those of us that want to down/upload compact flash with the camera or PDA and the Laptop. I bought this after I used a friends to transfer a program. It has its own driver built into the unit so you do not need to waste any time with a floppy disk or CD and after two seconds it was usable. This reader is a great value compared to some memory stick type drives.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great CardReader. Great Price
Review: This will be a short review. I have not had the product long, but in the time I have had it, this card reads the images so quickly and I think faster than a USB 1.0 port. Amazingly inexpensive too. Excellent buy if you have a laptop.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: works under Linux
Review: Very easy to set up under Linux if you have PCMCIA support enabled in the kernel. Once auto-detected and the ide-cs module is loaded (enable it under the IDE section in the kernel configuration) you can mount it like any other drive. Probably the easiest way to transfer data from a digital camera.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It works
Review: When I received the card, I was able to put it in the PCMCIA slot of my PowerBook G4 (running Mac OS X 10.3.3, the best operating system known to humanity so far), insert a CompactFlash card into it, and began working with the photos immediately. The OS recognized it as containing photos and started up the iPhoto application for me.

The reason I give this item only four stars is because I need to physically remove the adapter card from my computer whenever I want to change to a different CompactFlash card. It would have been nice if SanDisk had either provided an ejection mechanism or maybe just make the CF slot a little shallower so that I could grip the CF card to pull it out.

However, that's a minor inconvenience. It works 100%.
