Summary: i hate this thing
Review: I made the mistake of buying a digital camera that doesn't have a USB port, so I have to use the flashpath in order to get my pictures to the computer. I hate it. Not because it's inconvenient, which it is, but because it's incredibly unreliable. It rarely works, and when it does, it's only because I've babied it into working. it's an incredible hassle, and essentially makes my camera worthless.

Summary: Great idea, but problem is you need an installation program
Review: I thought this disk would be perfect for traveling and using in internet cafes accross Asia. Unfortunately, one requires an installation program on every PC you use it on, which is a bit of a pain, especially where most cafes won't allow this to be installed.
The disk is a great idea, but this "little" detail certainly isn't advertised clearly.

Summary: For the price how can it get any easer.
Review: This is a simple way to get pictures from the camera to a PC. Next time I take my camera on vacation I don't plan on bringing my laptop to offload pictures. Carry this and software can be installed at friends, relatives, etc. to copy pictures. Saves battery life of camera as well. It's a simple easy solution. I am getting a second one for my grandson to use.

Summary: Outdated and Needless
Review: This product seems like the real deal in making the use of memroy cards as easy as possible: slide memory card into adapter, slide adapter into diskette drive - you're good to go. Not so fast.
First, this tiny adapter is actually a device requiring a battery, the installation of a driver and let's not forget how slow your diskette drive really is. Not that good of a deal anymore.
With the price of regular USB memory card readers reaching low levels, this device is needless.
Also, if you were thinking of using the adapter on Linux, you will need a driver. The one supposed driver in existence was developed 3 years ago will only install and run on a RedHat 6 distribution. I doubt you use that version and I doubt anyone needs this adapter anymore.
