Conclusion: GE JasHO97936 10-in-1 Card Reader/Writer
Review: I have no comparison basis, but this Card Reader/Writer works fine with my computer and all types of cards I have used in it. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Okay, original drivers flaky, but...
Review: GE does not actually manufacture Consumer Electronics (according to their website). The Consumer Electronics division is farmed out.
The GE Reader uses PHISON chipset. Updated drivers are available here [...]
The chipset in mine is the Pen Drive 1.0 Series PS1006(C) chipset.
The reader chassis is a snap together case. You can open it with your fingernails and check out the universal USB interface chipset.
I highly suggest using the NEW drivers for the PS1006 chip released 08-Sep-2004 version : v1.29r000 for Win98 (5.5 MB ZIP File)
Hope this helps? Had to research this after reinstalling Win98 and loosing my install CD. :) Evaluation:
Conclusion: Awesome Product!!!
Review: This is a wonderful product for transferring images to the computer from a memory card! I cannot believe how simple it is! I'll never go back to connecting the camera to the computer again! GREAT PRODUCT!!!! Evaluation:
Conclusion: Don't buy this!
Review: I got this thing as a wedding gift. I attempted to use it after returning from my honeymoon. It completely corrupted the memory card and of the 80 pictures on the card, only 12 were readable. The camera then could no longer read them either. It's bad enough that it destroyed a $30 memory card, but it lost all of my honeymoon pictures which are irreplaceable. I've had some poor products before, but this one goes down as the worst of all time. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Reads and writes well but cable connector gets loose.
Review: It reads and writes well, tried it with compact flash cards and memory stick, and both work without a hitch, but only if the connector at the back of the device can hang on to the cable. It may be a bad piece I got, may not be a problem with all of them but I'll let you decide. And you should be ok if you have 1 card to read/write. From day one, the connector was loose, so after you very carefully get 1 card in and read from it, when you try to remove the card to put in a second one the cable comes loose the moment you touch it, and the computer thinks you have ejected the hardware. Then it wont recognize the device again till you reboot(logout and login again doesnt work).
