 Excellent reader but new buyers beware October 3, 2008

I've had this reader for a few years now and been using it on a G4 iMac. It has performed perfectly well over that time. Please be wary if you're a new buyer though as it won't work with SD cards over 1GB and it won't recognise the SDHC cards that are available now (which weren't around at the time of this products release).
I've had it working fine with a 2GB Compact Flash card and it's been fine on the USB 1 port of my iMac.
It's a nice little reader but out of date. You're probably better off getting something more up to date that can handle more.
 Brilliant for those who don't want any fuss! March 16, 2008

i have had this card reader for some 8 months now and I never fail to appreciate the speed and ease with which it does the job - I have used it on both Windows XP and MAC OS Tiger - I have not bothered to put the additional drivers on my systems and have not felt any need to explore why this might be a good idea. It does what I want and brilliantly. I am about to change to an Olympus camera with XP -M Picture Card and I trust it will do just as good a job for me with that . . . You can't go wrong.

Very fast. Easy as pie to use. I was previewing photos within 5 minutes of the postman delivering it.

Works as advertised, no problems. It's seen as a USB mass storage device in Linux (and presumably Windows) and works smoothly.Be careful if you want to move data between different types of cards on the fly though, as (at least) one of the slots is overloaded i.e. one of the slots takes two different types of card, so sharing between them would not be possible. This isn't really a problem though, since even if you end up in this situation it's easily solvable by copying the data to your HD and then swapping cards to write it onto the new card.

The reader works well up to a point. That point is 1Gb. It cannot cope with cards greater than 1Gb which is a shame because the cards I use these days are 2Gb.If you search on Belkins support page the only answer it has is that it doesn't support >1Gb but they will bring out a future product that will. For me this was a waste of money.
