Eyerex,

I'd suggest you avoid this type of card reader. When installed Windows assigns a Drive Letter to each Slot and it can be very confusing. (You typically end up with 3 more drives!) I'd suggest a USB 2 Card reader (for about the same $$) and only plug it in when you want to use it. :wink:

Just my 2 cents :!:

very true JIM - we have these combo drives @ school and i was downloading images from a CF card once and had to click on 8 fuxking drives till i found the right one - would be nice if it would let you name (or if it did it for you) the drives the name of the format that they are...
