Works greate with Windows (tm) alternatives [Posted on 2008-04-19]
I don't run Windows on any of my computers.
I run FreeBSD and Linux.
My daughter has a digital camera that uses a Compact Flash card. I went out to the local mega-variety store and picked up one of them mass storage device gizmos that will read every storage card yet invented. It was expensive and didn't work on my stuff. I don't know how they run on Windows. Never tried it.
But I have grown to appreciate devices that do one thing and do it well - over those all-purpose do-everything devices that don't do any of them very well.
This device does the job like a champ and dependably. The little button on the front doesn't do anything on my equipment; but even if it did I wouldn't use it.
I highly recommend this device for reading Compact Flash - especially if you run Linux or something non-Windows.
No fuss CF reader/writer [Posted on 2008-04-21]
This CF reader/writer does just that with no fuss, no software, just plug and go. Works very well. I bought two and one of them had a bad USB cable. Since I have a drawer full of USB cables this was no problem, but it may be for you.
Does it really do that? [Posted on 2008-06-05]
I purchased the SanDisk Reader/Writer assuming that it would help in placing pictures into Photoshop Elements. I had previously done this directly from my Camera successfully and thought the reader/writer would enhance my experience. I guess the main problem is that there is no clear instructions to follow.
When I placed the pictures on my computer using the SanDisk card reader the software placed them in a program created by SanDisk that I did not understand and could not get them into Photoshop Elements. I was under the mistaken impression that I could select individual pictures using the card reader and work on them in Photoshop but could not figure out how.
I am evidently missing something. My impression now is that it does not operate any better for me than using the cord from my camera.
Does the SanDisk card reader allow me to select individual pictures from my compact flash card? If I have to place all of the pictures on my computer then it is no better than hooking up my camera directly as I did before.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong -- or am I right in assuming this?
It just works [Posted on 2008-06-09]
It works as advertised. No need to install any drivers under Windows XP. I was able to read from Microdrive and CF without any issues.
does its job well [Posted on 2008-06-20]
It reader/writer is easy and intuitive to use, decent transfer speed, and it does what it's supposed to do.
