Summary: Difficult to setup, works great now.
Review: Didn't work when I first connected to my ~2 year old Dell running WinME. Turns out I had to update several drivers. Dazzle online support did eventually come through for me, but it took several hours over a couple of nights to get it done.

Now it works great and I wouldn't want to be without it. So I recommend it for anyone who is knowledgeable and persistent with Microslop stuff, but I would probably not suggest it for others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantastic little gadget.
Review: I just bought one of these a couple of days ago, and I'm glad I did- I wish I'd bought one sooner, as I would have saved a lot of battery power transfering photos from my Cannon camera. And, it transferes files 10X faster than using the program that came with the camera. It works just as they say- as an extra drive, so you can drag and drop directly to a folder in your hard drive. The only drawback is that you have to go in and "rename" the transfered files in order to be bale to find a certain pic quickly in the future (they are transfered as numbered files) which is a bit time comsuming.

Summary: Good for tranfers but crashes my computer.
Review: I like the fact that I can transfer the pictures I take with my digital camera without having to plug it into the PC. It is convenient, especially if you have several CF: you don't need to turn off your camera, switch the CF, turn on the camera... and so on.
The only problem I have with this product is actualy when I am not using it. With the CF reader plugged into the USB port, my PC would crash anytime, without any reason. It took me some time before finding out that if I didn't leave the CF reader plugged when I wasn't using it, the problem would disapear. I still use the reader pretty often but I have to plug/unplug it every time.
I use Win Me. I don't know where the problem comes from but I have several other devices on the USB ports and never had any problem with any of them.
One last thing: that would be nice to have a LED to know when the CF is being read/written.

Summary: It works!
Review: I'm using this handy little device on a Powerspec we bought from Microcenter in '99, running Windows '98. By no means a computer genius, I've had no problems with this at all. It's fast, simple, performs as advertised. I like that in a product.

Summary: Difficult to setup, works great now.
Review: I've had this reader for a couple months now, and it's worked without a hitch (under Win98). It's much much faster than the parallel reader I used to use. It's nothing fancy but it's worked for me really well.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Dazzle Compact Flash Reader doesn't handle 64 MB chips
Review: The title says it all. The directory listing has lots of strange characters; consequently, I suspect it has flipped into 16-bit character mode. 8 MB chips work fine.
