Works perfectly on Macintosh - Generosa Rader, Aug 05, 2008

This Smart Media Reader/Writer works perfectly on Mac running OS 10.4.11. Simply plug Hawking Smart Media Reader/Writer's USB cable to Mac USB port, insert Samsung 128 MB SmartMedia card onto Reader/Writer, transfer my ebook files to card. I then inserted the Smart Media card into my eBookwise 1150 ebook reader and proceeded to read my ebooks. Absolutely no problems.

Awesome! - kgreg, May 21, 2008

Thank goodness I found this. I had an old digital camera and lost the software and cables to it. Couldn't find any readers except this one to download the pics still on the old card.

Great on Win2K - dougcl, Jan 18, 2008

Expecting trouble with these devices, I bought two. The Olympus MAUSB-10 and this one. The installer for the Olympus driver would flat not work. I tried the latest version of the drivers, older versions of the drivers, I tried upgrading Install Shield. I went to the Install Shield site and followed many dead ends. Next day this one showed up. I plugged it in and Win2K recognized it and no driver installation required. My transfer requirements are light though with a 128MB max. Seems fast enough for me. By the way, I've seen a couple of different images on the web for this device. The picture here is accurate. It's a small device but the connections are durable.
