(5 out of 5)Great Value for the Money!
Purchased this adapter to go with my two 64MB SmartMedia Cards purchased here on Amazon.com. I purchased a Olympus D490Z Camera recently, and wanted these accessories to handle more storage and quick retrival with my Notbook Computer. Don't let the Camera Vendors over charge you on accessories. Viking products work great with the Olympus brand cameras.
(5 out of 5)Great product, no problems
I'm using this product to read the SmartMedia cards from my Fuji Finepix 1400 digital camera. My laptop is old and doesn't have a USB port, so I chose to go the PCMCIA route instead. It works very well with the Windows 95 OS I have installed, and detected drivers automatically. Whenever I pop a memory card in (I have 8 MB and 4 MB), a window pops up with the card's directory (it is read as a removeable harddrive). Very nice. The memory card slides completely in the PCMCIA card, with a little floppy-disk-eject-button-like tab to push it back out. I really like this product. The only complaint I would have is that you have to look up installation info online (the card comes sealed in a static bag with labels on it... no box or instructions).
(4 out of 5)Way better than connecting cables
I like this adapter! It works as advertised and the pcmcia card is better to carry around than the cable. The reason for only 4 stars: I asked a question via their website (warranty activation). The automated response promises contact within 24 hours, but havent heard from them in for 3 days. I will try again.
(5 out of 5)Good Card Reader
I have had this reader for 8 months. I have not had any problems with it at all. Good buy for a smart media reader.
(3 out of 5)It works
This thing is fast and works well however for my next reader I will be getting one that does both Compact Flash and Smartmedia. Most cameras nowadays are Compact Flash so that limits the usability of this device unless all you're going to be using it for is Smartmedia.
