Summary: A device that does not work
Review: This product is NOT recommended. I was unable to successfully load the drivers and hardware and thus was never able to use the device. The instructions are clear but they do not work. Waste of money. Unfortunately, your choices at present are to buy more than one reader if you have multiple media types...or await a 6 in 1 type device that actually works.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good with updrade
Review: This unit set up easily in WindowsXP and in Windows 2000 for me. I mostly use Compact Flash cards and have had no problem with that media. No issues with the one time I used it with MMC media either. Using Lexar Memory Sticks, however, was problematic at first - but installing the firmware upgrade from the Dazzle site did the trick.

There are no guides on the device (or much of an manual either) to tell you how to slide in the card so if you don't get a read from the drive at first, try inserting the card another way. Also, by default, the 2 drive letters assigned are not descriptive - i.e., you can't tell which one is for which card type. But after you figure it out, you can change the drive name in Windows.

Quirks aside, this device does the job.
