Conclusion: Does not read Memory Stick Pro Duo using MS Duo adapter
Review: Will read my SD cards fine, but will not recognize the Sony MemoryStick PRO Duo card (either 1GB or 4GB) using the Duo adapter. Contacted company for an updated driver for the card reader. They suggested I look for a new driver from my laptop manufacturer !? (IBM) or from Windows (!??!). No help. No drivers. No luck. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Hard to use and crashed my PC
Review: I needed a card reader for a Sony memory stick and thought this would work. It is inconvenient to use because you can't easily grasp the card once it's in the card reader. It is necessary to remove the card reader from the slot in order to remove the card. Then I got the "blue screen of death" while using it. I have never had this crash situation before with XP. I returned it to Amazon. Amazon has a very good return policy. Thanks, Amazon. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Works good.
Review: Works pretty good. I've got no complaints at all.
The cards could slide in a little smoother, I suppose. The reason they don't is probably because this thing can take so many different types of cards that they can't put real good guides in for any one particular type of card. I've used this thing with SD cards and Memory Stick.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.4 and no drivers are required. Evaluation:
Conclusion: worked as expected
Review: I purchased this so I can use in in my Honda Civic Stereo w/Nav. It has a PC card slot and this reader alows me to use any supported memory card to play mp3 in my car. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Good, but lacking
Review: No documentation anywhere online to show this card only supports up to 1 Gb of SD memory. A call to tech support and they basically told me "tough luck." Doesn't anyone sell a PCMCIA adapter that supports at least 2 Gb of SD memory?
