WILL NOT WORK WITH TYPE II CF CARDS
(1 out of 5) by Snowplow on Jan 13, 2006 (Missouri)This adapter only accepts Type I CompactFlash cards, IT WILL NOT WORK with Type II CF cards because they are thicker than a Type I and the slot in this adapter isn't large enough. Amazon's picture appears to be an older version which WOULD accept a Type II CF card, but SimpleTech's current version of model# STI-CFADII is different. CHECK FOR YOURSELF before wasting your time and money: http://www.simpletech.com/estore/index.php?partNumber=STI-CFADII

Gread adaptor, easy to use
(5 out of 5) by John Doer on Jan 18, 2005 (Rolla, MO USA)I use this adaptor to read a 1 GB SimpleTech CF card that I use for an A95 Canon digital camera. This adaptor is metal, and the quality is good. Just insert your card into the adaptor, plug the adaptor into the appropriate slot in your computer, and you are off. The computer should recognize the card automatically, and a new drive will show up for it under My Computer (Win XP).
Make sure that you put the card into the adaptor before inserting it into the slot. If you just put the adaptor in without the card, NOTHING HAPPENS! Just telling you this so you can avoid a scare.
I have two SimpleTech cards, and they are both reliable as is this adaptor. I currently recommend SimpleTech, and will continue to do so until given a reason not to.

SimpleTech Junky
(5 out of 5) by Jon Butcher on Mar 12, 2002 (Irvine, CA)OK... I'm totally into this digital photo album thing. I needed a solution for my notebook computer so I can edit my photos when traveling and SimpleTech seems to have everything I need. This PC adapter is perfect, and now I can take more digital images and edit them even when I'm not at home. Works great!!

Still using floppy disks? Why? Go CF!!
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on May 2, 2002I was at the airport trying to bring up a presentation I was working on... instead of spending time on the presentation, I was muddling through my floppies to find it! A buddy of mine suggested that I use CF cards to store my files on using this PC card adapter. Can you say "NO more Floppies!" Great product!

Compactflash... like a mini hard drive!
(5 out of 5) by Douglas Doright on Apr 29, 2002 (Torrance, CA)Ok, I just got a new digital camera and decided to buy another compactflash card from Simpletech and the Flashlink CF card reader, so I can get my pics to my PC fast. Then a friend suggested that I try using my CF cards as mini hard drives! I tell you it works. All I needed was the Simpletech PC card adapter and it like using a small floppy with alot more storage space!! Awesome!!
