Summary: Incompatibility issue....
Review: I have no doubts that this is a great product, if you're running a Windows system or Mac OS 9. But, I found out the hard way that it is (currently) NOT compatible with Mac OSX (I'm running 10.2.3) -- it caused a serious kernal panic forcing me to reboot.
Incidentally, when I booted my system into OS9.2, the card adapter worked beautifully -- I was able to read and write to my compactflash cards very quickly, without a hitch.I just wanted to alert any OSX users about the incompatibility since sytem requirements are not listed for this item.

Summary: No need to spend more money on another product
Review: I have purchased several similar adapters over the years. They are all the same. So, there is no need to pay more money than you have to. When I purchased this, Amazon was offering it at an unbelievable price, less than 1/2 what I paid for my last adapter. If the cost is still under 2 digits, definitely buy this thing! It even comes with a plastic storage case, a nice little touch not included with way more expensive adapters. Thanks to these adapters and the low cost of Compact Flash, I haven't used a zip drive in more than a year. I have a card reader on my desktop computers at work and at home, and a PCMCIA card reader like this one for my laptop. I have a 128 megabyte Compact Flash card (also a great deal from Amazon) that I use for shuttling all of my files back and forth, as well as for transfering pictures from my digital camera to my computers. You can't go wrong with this!

Summary: Great price
Review: No need for cables anymore for the laptop- read the CF card like a hard drive - transfer pictures, use for backup of files - anything.

Summary: Very easy to use - no software required
Review: Received it and plugged it into my laptop PCMCIA port. As soon as the Compact Flash card was inserted, Win98 found the device, installed the driver and added it to my explorer view like another hard drive. Downloaded pictures from my Canon digital camera quickly without draining the camera batteries. Great price !!

Summary: A MUST if you have a lap top.
Review: The short and simple of it. I love this little item. I purchased a Canon Digital Elph for Xmas, which I love, and after the first time of connecting the camera to my laptop and going through the software jive and taking way toooo long, I went searching for something easier. Now, I take my pictures, pop out the CF card and slip it in to my Antec CF Adapter and then slap that in my laptop and I have instant access to all my images. No software menus to scroll through. As soon as you plug in the CF Adapter card in your PCMCIA slot, it shows up like another hard drive and list all the jpg's you took on your camera. I purchased this adapter from Amazon about 4 weeks ago for [$$$] bucks, a steal. I see they have increase the price a little since no one else was going toe to toe with them in the price arena. Still a great buy for [a little more money].
