Customer Reviews

Speedy and Cute
Mine works great. I have transferred thousands of photos to my PC without a hitch. It is so small it sits on top of my monitor and is known to my system as device G. All the folks that have reported problems with installation undoubtedly had those problems. I didn't. And I have a Zip drive, a CD/RW drive and 4 devices total hooked up to my USB ports, including a printer and DSL modem. Before this mess would work on my 2 year old Dell, I had to download new BIOS for the machine. Anytime you add stuff to a PC, there may be conflicts that need resolving. But I don't believe this SmartMedia card reader is the total cause of anybody's problems.

Excellent Product Trouble Free
There have been previous reports of conflicts with this product and CDRW drives, and Zip drives, but I had absolutely no trouble at all and I have both. I also have a USB scanner, but have had no trouble at all. It only took about 2 minutes to install the software, reboot my system and plug in the reader. It is very easy to use. Just insert the smartmedia card and click on the reader drive icon, the pictures just pop up, no load time at all. I am very pleased with this product.

Works like a charm
I installed the San Disk Smart Media Reader USB version (they call it the ImageMate) on my computer with Win98. Installation was a snap by following the instructions, and I was uploading pictures from my 32meg smartmedia card in less than 5 min.

The directory acts just like another removable-disk drive (assigned F: on my computer) and is labeled USB when viewed after clicking on My Computer icon.

It sure beats uploading from the camera.
