PNY Card Reader - B. Gillum, Mar 19, 2008

Works fine. No read or write problem. I'm using SmartMedia 128MB Card. Transfering musical data. Haven't experienced the poor card fit into the reader. Maybe mine is an updated version. Looks a little different than advertised picture. Own three.

Works for Me - Wallace G. Andersonth, Jan 09, 2008

This reader works for me using Ubuntu Linux 7.10. The reader is used to read cards from a Olympus C3030 zoom camera and it works great! Linux found and mounted the card reader as another drive with no issues.

Works Well. - , Jun 16, 2003

I had the same problem with the card dropping inside however it really isn't a major problem. The enclosure slot is a bit too large and the card can slide in above the tracks that hold the card in place. If it was an expensive unit, I'd be disappointed with this flaw but I bought it specifically because it was cheap. It works and I'm happy with it.

I teach digital photography... - The Deal Miser!, Apr 03, 2003

I teach digital photography and use this reader regularly. It's the only one I've used that consistantly works well with no problems in Windows XP.

This is the reader I ALWAYS recommend to mu students! It's simple, light and does not get in the way.

As to not reading the card every time (Previous reviewer's comment) I'd guess he had a bad memory card. I've used a dozen or more of these readers and have not had a single problem with any of them.

Disappointed! - Godfrey Pearlson, Mar 22, 2003

Several Major Problems
1.The smart media card tends to drop inside the device- there is nothing to hold it in place.
2. Tended to scratch the media card.
3. Failed to read the card about half the time
