Mac Problems
Rating: 2/5
Using this reader with XP worked great.
Using this on my Mac was another story. I have USB 2.0 and 1.1 on my G4 (10.3.4). USB 1.1 worked as expected, slow but sure. USB 2.0 would lock-up when copying large amounts of data. Small files would copy ok.
I replaced this reader with a SanDisk 8-in-1 Reader (SDDR-88-A15) and it works great with my Mac and PC.
I used this to replace an older USB card reader on my Dell 4550 PC (running Windows XP) which has USB 2.0 ports. It works great.
Please note that the comment above, that says that you probably won't see an improvement in speed if you don't use high speed compact flash cards is untrue. I see a significant improvement in speed when reading my Lexar 4x compactflash in this USB 2.0 reader compared to my old USB reader.
Works Great on Win98se

I bought this reader after having some problems with other readers on my win98se op system. The install was seamless, and everything works perfectly.
