1/2 busted CF reader :(

from the ‘not-so-cool-anymore gadgets’ dept.

Well, i’ve been having some problems with it, which I can no longer really put down to linux usb mass storage drivers, Michael’s USB key worked flawlessly (with pretty flashing light), so it’s probably the CF card reader that is giving in the ass.

darn. have to buy another sometime.

plus, my camera worked fine (in fact, better than the CF reader i think) so maybe it’s time for a nice, decent, good CF card reader. Pity, i liked the physical design of this one.

  1. My 5-in-1 reader sometimes has trouble reading Smartmedia… can be fixed by removing and reinserting the card. Think it’s fine with CompactFlash. Maybe you should have this one, and i should “upgrade”?

  2. Is this the same card reader that you bought for me cause yours was so good???

  3. yeah it is dammit – the *design* is really cool – love the way it all works, but hopefully mine was just a bad one, or it’s worn out over time or something.

    although maybe the driver isn’t helping either (had problems with it in the past). I’ll let you know how it goes.
