| digital camera card readers I will be getting a digital camera in not too distant future but need a decnt card reader - anyone rate a particular one? i found loads over at ebuyer, some as a:\ drives with card reading bits attached (linky) seems like a good idea to me... Please, Don't ask for that one 'as a desktop'...its really not worth wasting your time asking, unless you're able to pay £££?

| I bought this one a couple of weeks ago: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=60661 ...and it works fine. Only tested it with an SD card, but it's LOADS quicker than the camera at opening pictures. Only problems are that it feels very cheap, and that it plugs into a regular USB socket rather than the motherboard headers, so you have to have the cable poking out of your case into an external socket. For some odd reason the activity LEDs that light up when you insert a card are on the circuit board inside the reader where you won't be able to see them once it's installed in the case. I'm probably just going to wrap mine in sellotape and then use it as an external reader TBH. www.no2id.net www.saynoto0870.com www.housepricecrash.co.uk Now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we're out of beta we're releasing on time.... |

| Has anybody got Mitsumi FDD / card reader combo ? I bought one of those (FDD + 7-in-1 card reader, from Scan). It nicely fits the empty 3.5in slot in the CM Stacker case (and this was the main reason for selecting it !). Why FDD ? Just in case. Actually I used the FDD while installing Windows XP (so I was lucky that I decided to have one). I decided to have RAID0 as a boot hard disk. For that to work Windows requires RAID0 driver on FDD (or CDROM) during the installation. For the record I realised that the Mitsumi FDD is quite noisy. So it is good that I am not going to use it much. I only tested the card reader with CF card. I can only say that it worked. I cannot comment on its performance as I have hardly any experience with card readers (the old one I used so far utilises printer's parallel port and keyboard's power). Regards Robert |

| read about it and found it has compatability issues. the ebuyer one rave linked to is cheaper and seems to fit the bill with little/no hassle...free shipping too.
