memory card readers

I have one of these readers that came with my Lexar 1GB USB CF Card, and it works GREAT with that card. I recently purchased a Sandisk Ultra II 1GB card -- I put this card in the reader and the light just stayed illuminated; nothing was being read. I then read on the Lexar site where it says the JumpShot readers are made "specifically for Lexar CF Cards". That really gripes me. I guess it came with the card, so I shouldn't complain, but for Pete's Sake... this is a simple device... make the thing universal!

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. This is a review to rebut them and give it two thumbs up.

My family and I own FIVE (5) of these readers, one for each member, different households. They all work wonderfully. I have not had any problems with this in windows 2000, XP or mac OS X. I highly recommend this reader, especially for this price. I have had 2 years of ownership and no complaints whatsoever. Fast read times, reliable.

Bought this product for under $5 from B&H. Tried it on 3 computers, two running XP and one running Win 2000. Did not work on any of them. Given what I paid for it, it is not worth the hassle of returning. I will buy a higher quality product to replace it.
