I've had issues with this on Windows 7. I've mailed tech support with no reply over their stipulated 48 hours time frame..

I did a Google search and found several. SanDisk is one. Or, you can ask the tech support for any Media Reader to furnish one. Note: it is almost cheaper to buy a cheap computer with Windows 7 than to buy a Windows 7 outright.

I had already a Jessops USB Universal card reader that I used to read and transfer images from my 2 GB Memory Stick PRO, however later on I was not able to use it with my newly bought Sony 8 GB Memory Stick PRPO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2.Does any one know if this card reader transfer photos and files from Sony 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2? Any suggestion for any Sony 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2 card reader please. Thanks.

IF this will work with Windows 7, the cards I have for my camera say smartmedia on them....would this reader take that card? My camera is older and drivers are available for Windows 7. This would be an easy and cheap fix.

I can not be sure of your situation but I was having trouble with a a high speed card reader that I purchased with the camera. Then a friend suggested I purchase a Kingston card reader (under $20 at the time) which reads multiple card styles and I have not had any trouble since.

Does anyone has problem with the H2 connection to a USB port? In my case, my computer does not recognize the camera as a device connected to any USB port. In some instance, my computer even freezes completely, and this is rare since my computer has a 3.2GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, and 256MB video RAM in its own video ATI video card. I have plenty of devices hooked up via USB to my computer, but nothing this bad has ever happened. I have two 300GB HD devices connected via USB ports, and I have no problem. I have two front USB ports which I seldon use, and I know they work, but neither of them recognizes the camera. Any ideas? Thanks. Does anyone has problem with the H2 connection to a USB port?

Regarding the USB 3.0 question, those are the specifications. The card reader handles multiple different storage card types including CF, SD/SDHC/SCXC, microSD, M2 etc. I have used the card twice, it worked easily, right out of the packaging. Seems to be a good buy.

I use easy ACC super speed USB. It comes with two slots for card reader. It's great you can buy at Amazon for $7.95.Good luck

I Have this item since 2005 and worked perfectly until I used a 4gb Kingston sd... I have used it with many brands and sizes up to 2gb, but when I used it with the 4gb I mention, it fail to work, but for me, works with everything 2gb and under. Dont buy it if you will use with bigger cards, look for a newer version or another brand.

This hub is USB 3.0 and backwards compatible with earlier versions of USB. It is plug and play with Windows 8.1 64 bit (which I run). Just plug it into a USB port, power it up and it works. The card you are running is irrelevant. It plugs into a USB port.

From my experience with past thumb drives, you need a driver from the manufacturer to make it work in Windows 98, and I would assume with 2000 as well. If the manufacturer doesn't provide one (and there's no mention of Windows 98 support here) then it simply won't be recognized by a Windows 98/2000 computer. If it IS recognized, keep in mind that Windows 98 can only read the FAT format, so no NTFS and no files bigger than 4 GB.

Unless I am missing something, this CF card reader SHOULD work with ANY computer with a USB drive. It's a simple device that does NOT require any software or any recognition by the computer other than acknowledging that a device is plugged into one of its USB ports that needs to be powered. All the "brains" of the device (what little there are, mostly mechanics and electronic components) are inside the device itself. I bought one and it worked sweet for a couple of weeks and then stopped working. I think I just got a defective one. The company that sold it to me replaced it and there is a new one on the way. It solves a particular problem well as long as it works. Unless I am missing something, this CF card reader SHOULD work with ANY computer with a USB drive.

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps! Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

I don't have a Windows 98 computer. I used this adapter (actually all three that I purchased) to plug in a PS/2 mouse to a USB port on a Windows XP computer and none of them worked. That's too bad because if any of them worked I was going to send them to you. Look for the adapter that shaped like a cube. I will try that one and give you a link if it works. Stay tuned. in the meantime, I would not buy the ones in question.All the best,Kent Taylor

I am using the USB 3.0 Sand disk reader, its the white one.. If you have USB 3 ports lets you take advantage of the speed!

Hello Michelle, If your FCR-HS3 is the most recent version and the ID number is 9931980-001.A00LFA it will read a UDMA7 card. If it does not have the "A' after the ID number it MAY work with the most recent firmware number version 0131. If not then Kingston will exchange it at no cost. It is a win-win condition. I hope this helps because I am very happy with mine. If you do not have Firmware 0131 you can upgrade it your self. Go to --&gt;http://www.kingston.com/us/company/contacts#tech

As of today the best I can do with this reader is connecting to camera with USB cable. That works OK. However, it does NOT read my SD card. I cannot recommend this product.

The specs. say, "All-in-1 Card Reader, Supports CF, CF II, SD, SDHC, MINI SD, MMC, MicroSD, XD." It was a long time ago I installed this, and I am not 100% sure - but, I am about 90% sure that YES, it can read that type of memory card. It really is a good All-in-one reader, and I had no trouble with installing it or with it's operation - it's pretty smooth.

I wanted to go ahead and state this here in case anyone else is looking for an answer to this question that they can be rest assured, It Works Great on my Windows 7 x64 OS and on the package it comes in states this "High Speed USB 2.0 Mobile Card Reader/Writer" Yes writer and writes very well to my smart media card, if i known this ahead of time it could have saved me money from purchasing a separate unit that had writer labeled on in its title.
