Summary: Works fine on Win2000-SP3
Review: My system running Windows 2000 (with SP3), has both USB1.1 and USB2.0 ports -- the unit works on both without problems. Of course, transfer speed is much faster on USB2.0 ports.I did not install the included driver which is for Windows 98. The unit gets detected every time it's plugged in. I also tested with different brands and types of media: Viking 512MB compact flash, Memorex 128MB secure digital, Lexar 64MB memory stick and SanDisk 64MB smart media -- all were able to read and write. The built-in USB connector can be tucked away inside the device case (a nice touch). A 3 ft USB extension cord and a vinyl pouch (case) are included. If you are brand conscious, take a look at the Imation FlashGo!2.0. I think both of these units come from the same factory as they are the exact same size, except for the slots placed in a different arrangement. I have both units and they've performed reliably well so far. The Imation unit is more expensive though. I've also tried the SanDisk USB2.0 6-in-1 reader -- that gave me a lot of problems: froze my system and couldn't get detected, so I returned it.

Summary: Beware, is not backwards compatible with USB 1!
Review: The packaging on this item states that it connects via USB 2.0 technology, but beware, it is not backwards compatible. On the back of the reader itself you have to read, "Please make sure you equip with USB 2.0 mainboard or adaptor card while accessing this reader."
This is highly unusual because most 2.0 work with USB 1.
Bad. Other than that, i am sure its a good reader. But I needed a reader that i could use with my Mac, PC and laptop and this is not it, as i am not going to equip them all with 2.0 just for a $.. reader.

Summary: Wonderful Product
Review: This reader is great!! It treats each flash card as its own drive and is very fast!! You can use it to move files from one card to another. Yes!!!! It is backwards compatible with usb 1.1 . I have Windows XP and it will warn you that you are using a high speed device in a low speed port, but you can close the message and it works perfectly fine. ( Just slower than the 2.0 port). It's real convenient having a 6 in 1 card reader thats fast and fits in your pocket.
