Not as advertised: memory card accessory

This is a cool reader because it's so small but is NOT compatible with Mac OS 10+ even though it's advertised that way. I contacted them and they said this model is six years old. Even my PC has some issues but I finally got it working. I would recommend their newer model or another.

Pros
  • nice item
Cons
  • not as thick as the others

Ease of Use: Memory Card Accessory

I LOVE this item. Journey. No problem, no hassle. I bought this after returning the CF reader from another manufacturer (it was on sale). After an hour of trying to get another reader to work, I gave up. This worked right away.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Neutral

Easy to use, ideal for computers and accessories

I LOVE this item. I plugged it into a USB port on my laptop (WIN 2000) and was able to see the CF card as well as the drive. No problem, no hassle. I bought this after returning the CF reader from another manufacturer (it was on sale). After an hour of trying to get another reader to work, I gave up. This worked right away.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
