Summary: Windows 98 Users Beware
Review: The back of the package says it will run on Win 98 if you download the driver. Don't believe it. The unfriendly tech person at Ziocorp confirmed that it is not supported on my version of 98 and that I would have to return it or upgrade my system. No apology for the misleading packaging and the hassle I'm now faced with. The 8 in 1's that I bought last year worked just fine with the downloaded driver on my same 98 system so I was expecting the same experience. However, the 10 in 1 did work as expected when we plugged it into my nephew's XP. So again, you dinosaur users should stay away.

Summary: Works great, good price
Review: This is the best multi-flash memory card reader, and it has a great price to boot. A memory card reader basically connects to your PC's USB port, and you can insert a flash memory card into the reader, just like you used to insert a floppy into a floppy drive. Then the flash memory shows up as an external drive on your Windows Explorer.

The Zio accepts the following 10 formats:
1.CompactFlash Type I
2.CompactFlash Type II
3.xD
4.IBM Microdrive (really a CF II card)
5.SmartMedia
6.Memory Stick
7.Magic Gate Memory Stick
8.Memory Stick PRO
9.MultiMediaCard
10.Secure Digital (SD is the most popular format right now)

I've used flash cards with up to 512MB with no problems, on an XP laptop.
